Yes, but is it able to "simulate" depth of field like the software of the new iPhone by combining the image captured by the two lenses?

- dingo_bat 10y agoIt doesn't need to. The natural depth of field of its camera is more than enough. In fact it is too much sometimes.
- ngrilly 10y agoSorry, my comment was ambiguous. I meant "simulate a shallow depth of field". As you noticed, all smartphone cameras naturally have a very deep depth of field.
- dingo_bat 10y agoSorry I meant the depth of field is too shallow in the S7.
- ngrilly 10y agoSeriously? It's theoretically impossible with a such small camera. When you shoot a portrait of someone at 1.5 meters from the camera, is the background blurred (if the background is let's say 4 meters behind the subject)?
- dingo_bat 10y agoYou're right. From 1.5 meters away, there is only a slight blurring of the background. I was mostly referring to the insane bokeh I see in macro photos I take. Found a good example here: http://www.techinsider.io/why-the-s7-camera-is-better-than-iphone-2016-3 http://www.techinsider.io/why-the-s7-camera-is-better-than-i... Search for 'bokeh'.
- ngrilly 10y agoYes, I known what "bokeh" is :-) This is why I was surprised you could get bokeh at a normal range with your smartphone. For macro photos, even with a smartphone, it's inevitable. Thanks for the link to the article.
