What does the „f“ in the camera App mean? (alien.top)

Hey! I recently bought the iPhone 15pro and when I use the „focus“ in the camera App by tapping with my finger on the screen a „f“ appears in the corner. I can activate it, but I can’t find out what for. It looks like the sign for „camera aperture“ (I don’t know if this is the right word, it’s „Blende“ in German). What does it do? I didn’t find anything on the apple help pages.

On the 15 series, you can capture photos with depth data in non-portrait mode. The icon turns yellow to indicate depth capture during regular photos when either a person, dog, or cat is detected, or when you tap to focus on a subject, prompting the camera to use portrait mode for depth.
