Background Defocus Mode
Use your camera's blurred background effect to make your subjects look sharper and
more vivid in comparison with their background. In Background defocus mode, the
camera takes two shots, identifies the background, and then blurs it while keeping the
subject sharp and in focus, like shooting with a digital SLR camera. You can select from
three different blur variations and tune the blur level in the preview display.
Face in Picture
You can use the Face in Picture mode to turn on the front and main cameras at the
same time, so you can take a photo of yourself together with the subject.
Multi-Camera Mode
Multi-camera mode lets you take a photo that combines images from two different
angles and devices. You see two images in the camera viewfinder of your device—one
from your own camera and one from a connected Xperia™ device or a Sony camera that
supports NFC and Wi-Fi Direct™ technology. You can then edit what you see in the
viewfinder before taking a photo.
So if you're at a concert venue, for example, and you want to capture a photo that
combines a view of the band from one angle and the audience from another, you can
use multi-camera mode for the best effect.
You can set up multi-camera mode using NFC, which launches the pairing of the two
devices using Wi-Fi Direct™ technology.

device – one from the viewfinder of your camera and another from the viewfinder
of the connected device.
7
To edit the images in your viewfinder, tap
8
Edit the images as desired. For example, you can tap and hold an image and drag
it to the other side of the viewfinder to change the order.
