Miniature Effect - Leica Q Instructions Manual

MINIATURE EFFECT

With this function you can select which parts of the image field are
shown in focus and, most importantly, which parts are out of focus.
You can limit the focused areas to either a horizontal or vertical
strip. You can change the width as well as the location of this strip
within the image field.
The effect will make the picture look similar to a closeup photo with
its characteristically shallow depth of field.
