Motion Blur Mode Guide
Learn how to use Motion Blur mode in Iris Flow to create silky water effects, smooth cloud movements, and artistic blur.
Motion Blur mode averages multiple frames together to create smooth, flowing effects. This is the classic long exposure look that makes waterfalls silky-smooth and clouds appear to streak across the sky.
How to use Motion Blur mode:
- Select Motion Blur mode from the mode picker
- Frame your shot with both static and moving elements
- Start the capture and hold as steady as possible
- The AI stabilization will keep static objects sharp
- Moving elements will blend into a beautiful blur
Best subjects for Motion Blur mode:
- Waterfalls and rivers (creates the silky water effect)
- Ocean waves crashing on rocks
- Moving clouds against mountains or buildings
- Crowds of people in busy areas
- Traffic during the day (creates motion streaks)
Pro tips:
- Include something static in your frame for contrast (rocks, buildings)

- Perfect for creating that professional landscape photography look
