How to Use Cinematic Blur (Portrait Video) on Google Pixel 10 Pro

Accessing Cinematic Blur Mode

• 💡 To record portrait videos, open the camera app on your Pixel 10 Pro and navigate to the video modes located at the bottom right.
• 🎯 Select the 'Blur' option to enable cinematic blur, which enhances background blur beyond the standard camera effect.

Understanding Blur Effects

• 🔬 The standard video mode offers some natural background blur based on object distance, but the cinematic blur mode significantly increases this effect.
• 🎬 Comparisons show that cinematic blur makes the focused subject much more prominent and the background substantially more blurred.

Adjusting Focus and Blur Strength

• 👆 While recording, you can change the focus by simply tapping on the desired object (foreground or background) on the screen.
• 🎛️ The blur strength can be adjusted; by default, it's set to 75%, but you can increase it to 100% for an even stronger cinematic look, or set it to 0% to disable the effect.

Key Benefits of Cinematic Blur

• ✨ This mode is designed to create professional-looking results with added depth and focus control.
• 🚀 It makes it easier to highlight your subject and achieve a distinct cinematic look for your videos.
