Our Guide for Fixing Motion Blurs With the Deblur AI Tool
There are many technical issues that cause blurry images, but one thing is for certain – if you aren’t creating an intentional motion blur portrait, then having a blurry image can feel pretty annoying once you transfer your footage from the camera or phone to the computer.
If you have an image that's been plagued by a motion blur, look no further than BeFunky’s Deblur tool. This tool uses AI to detect any motion blur and determine what it should look like when crisp and clear – making it appear like there was never a blur to begin with!
What Is a Motion Blur?
Let’s take a look at why motion blur happens and then we will walk you through the steps on how to fix your own blurred photos by using the Deblur tool. Motion blur happens in a few ways but the most important thing to keep in mind is that if you want a crisp, in-focus shot, then you need to have the camera and the subject still and stabilized. If either of these things moves, you will get a motion blur.
Camera Shake
The first way is simply because of “camera shake” which is when you accidentally move your camera while taking the photo. There is a higher potential for camera shake when you’re in a low-light setting. In these settings, the camera requires a longer shutter speed in order to let more light into the lens to compensate for the lack of light. Slight movements during this exposure time will cause a blur.
Subject Movement
The same kind of thing applies to subject movement compared to camera shake. When there is not enough light and your subject moves, it can cause a blur. This is typically where motion blurs come into play.
This can be a cool effect when you are actually trying to capture an intentional motion blur. To do this, simply set your camera up on a tripod and capture a photo with a slow shutter speed, asking your subject to move a part of their body. You can even do this with lights in night photography to get some pretty cool effects.
This look has also been trending in wedding photography for some time now and is beginning to be a popular look for artistic Instagram photos.
