These two cameras work in tandem to unleash a myriad of new possibilities that can give selfies a creative twist.
The dual front cameras are ideal tool for selfie crazy audience. The front cameras allow various options to modify the selfie by selecting from a number of built-in photo editing tools such as ‘Blur’, which allows refocusing anywhere on the seflie (up to 3 focal plains) or adding a ‘bokeh’ effect to the background to stylize a selfie or simply to get rid of a photo bomber. With ‘Cut Out’, people can be cropped out of a selfie and then placed on any other image (from a wide selection preloaded on the VIBE S1 or downloaded from the internet or stored images on your phone), and even on a photo taken with the rear camera of the VIBE S1 smartphone. No matter where the selfie is taken, the person in it can be cut out and placed in front of the Eifel Tower or the Taj Mahal for instance. The other useful feature of the selfie camera is that it can be triggered with gestures also.
