Controlling depth of field
You can control the depth of field to create an area of focus that draws
attention to the subject in your photo. For example, in a photo of a
person surrounded by a field of flowers, you can defocus (blur) the
surrounding flowers while retaining a clear focus on the person.
You can apply the Depth of Field effect to draw attention to
the subject in your photo.
