Want to master your portrait shots? Here’s a tutorial using Zeiss optics in new vivo V40

MANILA, Philippines — Smartphones have become the extension of its user’s personalities and interests—not just with how it is customized or what color or design it carries. The once humble device for calling and texting is now a compact tool for content creation and self-expression.

This has been possible thanks to the continuous advancements not just on a smartphone’s hardware, but more importantly, on its cameras.

vivo, a leader in this regard, has introduced a mobile imaging system co-engineered with ZEISS, a Germany-based company that has been producing lenses for photographers since 1890.

Imagine using this professional optic technology with your own hands? Now you can with the newest vivo flagship phone, the V40.

We’ve got our #HandsOn the V40 ahead of its official launch and got to experience the exclusive ZEISS camera suite and features. One thing is certain, if you are a creative at heart who loves taking good photos, the vivo V40 is suited for you.

Become your own ZEISS Portrait Master with the vivo V40 and improve your mobile photography skills beyond the bokeh shots with this easy-to-follow tutorial.

The vivo V40 is equipped with not just one but three 50MP ZEISS lenses: the Main Camera, the Wide-Angle Camera and the Selfie Camera.

To start shooting your pro-level portraits, open the 50MP Zeiss Main Camera and select Portrait Mode. From here, you will see the icons at the lower right corner that shows the exclusive ZEISS Multifocal and ZEISS Style Portraits features.

In collaboration with ZEISS, vivo introduces the new ZEISS Multifocal Portrait, which lets you choose a focal length best suited to the portrait you want to capture.

There are three options to choose from: 24mm, which is the standard, the 35mm or 1.5x zoom, or the 50mm or up to 2.2x zoom.

The 24mm can be best used for creative shots of your subject against a clean, blurred background such as landscapes or architecture. Select this to capture travel photos that will surely stand out.

In comparison, the 35mm and the 50mm achieve that classic portrait photo with the highly desired bokeh background. The more bokeh, the more drama, the more aesthetic you get to achieve.
