How to make the best use of your dual camera phone

Dual cameras seem to be the next big thing when it comes to smartphones, with more and more manufacturers starting to offer the feature on their devices. With two cameras, you get to enjoy a bunch of new features such as Bokeh mode, ultra wide angle lens and even optical zoom. Here are some tips on how you can make the best use of these features. What is Bokeh mode? To put it simply, a bokeh image is where parts of the image is blurred, but the subject is focused. This naturally tends to draw the eyes of the reader to the subject itself and makes for good looking pictures. This effect is usually done by the lens in DSLRs, but in quality phones, the second camera is used to gauge depth and a software is used to blur the background. What is the ideal distance to keep when taking Bokeh shots? There needs to be some distance between the camera, subject and the background. Ideally, the subject should be less than 2.5 meters away however, the further the background is, the better.
