Portrait mode in Google Camera running on Asus Zenfone 3..

How to install Google camera version 5 on Asus Zenfone 3.. ?
Read more and enjoy..!

The Portrait mode is quite amazing Google Camera feature and take some quite stunning Depth of field pictures even under artificial light. Google uses machine learning to separate what's in the foreground and the background. Based on that it blur the background and highlights the foreground pictures.
I managed to take some decent photos and I have compiled a video on that you can check it out below.
Check the video here : https://youtu.be/qYK2RJvEdQU



The link for the Google Camera will be in the description of the video..

After you install it go ahead and open Google camera. You can see the following options slow motion Panaroma,Photosphere, Lens Blur, Settings..

Go to the settings followed by 'Advanced' option and then turn on the Portrait mode.

Once the Portrait mode is on you will see the option of lens blur replaced by portrait mode.

Portrait mode is another name for depth of field. In Asus zenfone 3 stock camera the Portrait mode is known as depth of field. The depth of field also manages to take some decent shots under daylight. However under artificial light it requires some  time for the camera to get used to the conditions.
However the Portrait mode on the Google camera produces some stunning shots even under artificial light.  
Google camera requires the support for RAW images. The Portrait mode in the Google camera does not work on the front camera of the Asus zenfone 3 because the Asus zenfone 3 front camera does not have support for RAW images. However the Portrait mode on the rear camera i.e the back camera is fully supported and the result i obtained was quite stunning. Even the stock Camera pictures were not anywhere close to it..
This method doesn't require rooting or other command oriented work of sudo or ADB to get Portrait mode working.
After each click the camera processes the image in the background and it finally shows you the processed image. You have the option to view the image with or without the Portrait effect applied to it.

I'll share with you some photos here. I hope you enjoy them.
