@AdroitNecromaner Hey there, not sure what you are referring to. Can you elaborate? Thanks, the Canon team.

so i just need to cut out any shape and those will make bokeh effect??

[CanonAustralia]

@sw33tbay yes put the cut-out shapes over the lens. Good luck!

If it was "Bo-ka" then it would've have been in Japanese "Bokaa", it's Bokeh, which is actually "Bokee" which should sound like "Bo-Keh". But great video :) Just thought I might correct people's Japanese.
