How to take portraits using Live focus feature in Galaxy Note8?

The Live focus feature allows the camera to capture the subject and the background separately so that you can get an out-of-focus photo with the focus on the subject. Adjust the background blur effect on the preview screen and take a photo that highlights the subject.

Navigate to Camera → LIVE FOCUS → Focus → Capture → ADJUST BACKGROUND BLUR → SAVE 

Pictorial representation of the above settings are as follows :  

 
1. From the Apps list, tap Camera.

 
2. On the preview screen, tap LIVE FOCUS to use the Live focus feature.

 
3. Focus on a particular subject by dragging the background blur adjustment bar to the left or right to adjust the blur level.
