decrease to -0.5 to -1.0 to preserve more details.
Portrait Mode
Portrait mode is an intelligent shooting mode specially optimized for photographing people.
The camera automatically adjusts key parameters such as aperture and color to achieve a
background blur effect, highlighting the subject. It also intelligently enhances skin tone
restoration and facial sharpness, making facial features appear more delicate and
three-dimensional, all without the need for manual adjustments.
