Hello, I have a question, especially for iPhone 15 Pro users:
You know that thanks to the 5x telephoto camera on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, we can get a depth of field in the background when taking photos or videos at 120mm. So, can we achieve this natural depth of field in the 3x 77mm telephoto camera on the iPhone 15 Pro?
I hope this photo sample will help you better understand my question:

iPhone 15 Pro
When I want a depth of field effect on my iPhone, I am taking the photo in Portrait Mode. The photo will be taken with an additional depth map, and I can change the aperture and depth of field afterwards in Photos. Take portraits with your iPhone camera - Apple Support (EG)
I am using the iPhone 15 Pro Max, but the portrait control should also be available on the iPhone 15 Pro, see: iPhone 15 Pro - Technical Specifications – Apple Support (UK)
Three factors affect Depth of Field (DOF). Let’s first define what DOF is. DOF is a zone of acceptable focus (sharpness) that extends both in front off and behind the point of focus (in portraiture the subject’s eyes).
DOF then becomes a simple mathematical formula. The three variables are as follows,
Beyond the science, you can add computational photography or whatever you want to call artificial intelligence. If the image becomes blended between multiple images produced by different camera and lens combinations with different apertures, different focal length lenses, distance to subject (change perspective) becomes the variable that might make the most difference.
So, with all that said, you need to examine the 3 variables, camera physical differences and then the variables that can be applied by the user to camera settings that affect Computational Photography (AI).
Happy to answer questions.
The only camera difference I see here is the maximum zoom option.
Can iPhone 15 Pro achieve depth of field like Pro Max?
