There are two ways to blur the background when shooting a photo.

Shooting Tips
1. The further the distance between the subject and background, the better.
The further the distance between the subject and background, themore blurred the background will look. The subject will also standout better against an uncluttered dark background.
2. Use a telephoto lens.
When using a zoom lens, set the lens on the telephoto side and get close to the subject.
3. Focus the face.
Check that the AF point covering the face flashes. For close-ups of the face, focus on the eyes.
I. Using Creative Auto Mode In the <  > mode, you can easily change the depth of field, drive/self-timer, and flash firing. You can also choose the ambience you want to convey in your images. The default settings are the same as the < > mode. * CA stands for Creative Auto.
IMPORTANT
Depending on the lens and shooting conditions, the background may not look so blurred.
This function cannot be set (grayed out) if the built-in flash is raised and [  ] or [  ] has been selected. If flash is used, this setting will not be applied. If flash is used, this setting will not be applied.
