Step 3: Utilizing this feature is remarkably simple. When you activate the software-driven focus mode on Galaxy S8, S8 Plus, it automatically focuses on all elements in the photo, leaving you to simply capture the moment.

As shown in the image above, this mode allows you to capture the photo first and then choose the bokeh style you prefer afterwards.
Step 4: After capturing, we have 3 modes. The first is for the photo to have full focus as mentioned in the previous step. The second mode is center focus, highlighting objects in the foreground.
The third mode is background focus, blurring the background for scenes in the front. While it uses software-based focusing rather than dual cameras like other phones, what Samsung has integrated for the Galaxy S8, S8 Plus is truly fantastic.
