Taking motion photos on Android, specifically utilizing features that add creative blur effects, involves navigating to a dedicated 'Motion' mode within your camera application. This allows you to capture subjects in motion while adding dynamic effects like background blur.
Using the Motion Mode in Your Camera App
To capture photos with motion blur effects, follow these simple steps within your Android device's camera application:
- Open your Camera app.
- Scroll through the available modes or options until you find and select Motion.
- Choose which blur effect to use. One specific effect available is Action Pan.
Understanding Motion Blur Effects
The 'Motion' mode, as described in the reference, is designed to let you play with how movement is captured in your photos. The Action Pan effect is one way to achieve this:
- Action Pan: This effect is used to add a creative blur to the background.
- To use it effectively, you can either hold your camera still while a subject moves past, or follow a moving subject smoothly with your camera. Both techniques help create the dynamic blurred background while keeping the subject relatively sharp, enhancing the sense of speed and motion.
By following these steps and selecting the 'Motion' mode and effects like 'Action Pan', you can capture photographs that convey movement and speed with artistic blur.
