Snap fancier photos with this new upgrade

These days, camera phones and high-end DSLRs are neck-and-neck in terms of software enhancements. So it is only expected from Apple to include a whole range of camera effects to the new iPhone 8 Plus.
Along with the raved portrait mode feature introduced last year in beta with iPhone 7 Plus, four cool lighting settings are offered as part of iPhone 8 Plus' new feature Portrait Lighting - a camera mode that utilises the dual-camera system to adjust lighting around your subject for the different effects. Facial landmarking technology plays a huge role as the effects revolve around the detection of human features.
At Singtel's exclusive launch of the new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, we manged to play around with the new lighting effects and here are the results:
Studio Light
To replicate a professional portrait studio, Studio Light brings brighter lighting into photos when switched to this setting. Your subject, along with the facial features, hair, clothes and some parts of the background, will appear brighter. While best suited for the indoors or areas with dim lighting, the setting’s drawback is that the effect comes off less natural, where skin tones may appear a few shades lighter than normal.
