How To Set Aperture On A Point And Shoot Camera How Can I Take Pictures With Blurred Background (bokeh) With A Point-and-shoot Camera?

How can I take pictures with blurred background (bokeh) with a point-and-shoot camera? - how to set aperture on a point and shoot camera

I have a Canon A610, so you do not have an aperture priority and manual setting (in addition to being a point and shoot). However, I followed the instructions I found on the Web to appear to set the aperture 2.8 and ISO at 50, but I can not to take pictures when the subject's center, but the background blurry. Some may me detailed instructions on how to do it with this device? Thanks in advance!

The problem with digital cameras is that even f2.8 is a great depth of field. The best way to get the depth of field is usually used a telephoto lens with a large aperture, based on something fairly close. Unfortunately, the device has a minimum aperture of 4.1 in TV's zoom range.
The only answer, I think, just for something as close as possible to focus the camera, with just a few meters. You can also use the macro setting if the theme is rather small.

You have rightly aperture of 2.8. The key for you is that your objects in the foreground near the camera and focus, while in the background must be at least 10 + feet. Focus on the forground object and the background should be blurred. This process is known as "Depth of Field
