Google launches Lens Blur in the new camera app - The biggest advantages of SLR cameras over camera phones is the ability to achieve shallow depth of field and bokeh effects.

While Shallow depth of field makes the object of interest "pop" by bringing the foreground into focus and de-emphasizing the background. Achieving this optical effect has traditionally required a big lens and aperture, and therefore hasn’t been possible using the camera on mobile phone or tablet.

Inorder to fill the gap, Google has introduced Lens Blur, a new mode in the Google Camera app.
