Similar to the Galaxy S5's implementation, Background Defocus takes a burst shot at multiple focus points, and uses
software edge detection to find the subject and defocus the background.

These are combined with a full suite of cutting -
edge software tools such as 3D facial
detection and dynamic illumination to create timeless portraits and exceptional pictures, whatever the subject.
The reason why this
edge detection is critical is because that's where the
software starts to apply the blur — and our eyes can instantly tell when the
edge and background blur doesn't look right.
