    Thank You for actually giving a correct description of Depth of Field and showing one aspect of what controls it. So many content creators have misconceptions and share downright inaccurate ideas about how to control it. If you hear someone talking about DoF as “good” or “bad” - run. DoF is either deep or shallow. The only “good” DoF is the DoF that matches the story you are trying to tell.
    Thanks Again!

    Just move subject closer to camera - then increase the space from behind the subject from the background, such as a wall or building , tree. FOCUS on subject manually until you see the separation in the ground. No extra lenses or filters needed.
    Your subject is 4ft away from the window, but the subject is too close to the window. There should be more distance from your subject to the window.

    Hi, informative video! Ty. I have been trying to find a way to use my iphone in cinematic mode as a streaming camera. Thought I might see with your knowledge base, if you had a potential solution? Anyways, good video. Appreciate your time! Cheers

    It’s an interesting test. My conclusion is that you virtually have no shallow depth of field with smartphone which is noteworthy. Except the artificial digital one, which is ok, but needs to get better. No comparision with my ZV-E10 and Sigma 1.4 aperture lens. And full frame cameras are on a different planet 😂

      If the object is close, you can get some like the sunglasses example. But of course, nowhere near full frame otherwise.

    I get much more bokeh using a Sirui 400mm lens on the 1X lens? Works really well!

    Hey Blake, have you tried any other lenses to get the DOF increase? I was aiming at the anamorphic from Smallrig to match the cage I'm getting.

    • @iphoneographers
      @iphoneographers  Před 9 měsíci

      The main ones that work/help are the telephoto. You can also use diopters. The anamorphic is so wide you typically won’t see much shallow DOF unless you’re close to the subject.

    While shooting Hormozi style outside on a sunny day, With iPhone native cinematic mode, would an ND filter make difference? Or would you recommend just lowering the exposure with the slider ?

    • @iphoneographers

      Always recommend using ND when shooting outside in sunlight.

    Not very much bokeh with any of those lenses i'm afraid my friend.

    • @iphoneographers

      Yeah, if you’re closer you can get some pretty nice bokeh. The sunglasses shot shows an example of that.

    Yes there DOF but not much. I wish to get little more DOF with this setup

      Yeah just experiment by moving a bit closer. It can look surprisingly shallow if you prefer that look.

    Why do you guys even use iPhones when we gave samsung phones with 10x Zoom, which would destroy that iPhone with shallow depth of field

      Just like the iPhone ecosystem better. But now especially - Apple Log.
