What's the story
When it comes to smartphone photography, iPhones are the best players in the game. Their cameras deliver high-quality photos and offer all the fancy capabilities one could ask for. But, as photography is a lot more than pointing and shooting, the Cupertino giant has released some handy tutorials to help you get the best out of your iPhone's camera. Let's take a look.

Short clips to use different features
Apple has released a total of eight short clips giving a step-by-step guide to using different features on iPhone Xs, Xs Max, and Xr. In one clip, the company has shown how you could control depth while shooting in portrait mode in a natural light environment. The feature, as many already know, allows you to adjust the background blur level before/after taking a shot.
Feature #2
Apple even demoed 'Stage Light Mono' mode
Along with depth control, Apple also demoed how one could use the famous 'Stage Light Mono' mode in the portrait section of the camera app. The feature lets you highlight the subject of an image in a classic black and white setting. Notably, when you use this feature, the background will be all-black while the subject will be highlighted in shades of white/grey.
