Put some distance between you and the subject and increase the zoom. Keep the aperature wide open.

My wife will not pose.....bad hair day.
But this works the same Chickadee is about 7 ft from the camera...pole about 18 inches behind the bird and the woods are about 15 ft behind the bird F stop 3.7.... zoom 12X not much else matters, you just need more distance behind the subject than with a DSLR |

As has been said, yousimply need to use as large an aperture as possible (f2.8 or 3.7) to reduce the depth of field. Then,as long as there is sufficient distance between the subjectand the backgroundthe result will be a blurred background. Like Gene, I only have bird portraits to hand, but you get the idea.

just remembered those portraits I posted here once.
http://www.stevesforums.com/forums/v...452383#p452383 Have a look at the second portrait (the girl in b&w). It was taken at full zoom and at the closest distance possible. Aperture was 5,6. |
