Tips for defocusing the background
Position of the subject and the background
If you shoot an image with the subject and background far apart, as shown in the illustration, the background can be
defocused. Shoot from the recommended shooting distance indicated on the screen.
Subject is sufficiently removed from the background
Subject and background are too close
Zoom scale and position of the subject
When you shoot a flower and a small item from close up, turn the W/T (zoom) lever to the W side. For shooting people,
move a short distance away from the subject and turn the W/T (zoom) lever to the T side.
