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:
Stage Light
The most dramatic out of the five effects, Stage Light captures just your subject and blacks out the rest of the background. When switched to this setting, a circle will appear onscreen to locate your subject and direct the light to the face, before capturing just the outline of your subject.
