Hi, do you all have any idea how to do the setting when taking a photo if I want to focus on a object and blur the background?
Is that use macro setting? Is it nothing to do with the shutter speed and exposure? sorry, another noob question, how to do macro setting? i need to change the scene to "flower" sign? and that's it? |

QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Dec 14 2009, 07:14 PM) focus on object and blur background...the correct term is shallow depth of field. macro setting (yes the flower sign) should do that. try to position urself to snap so that the background is far away...the further the background, more blur it gets Im using panasonic zr-1, I couldn't adjust aperture, that's why i want to know is there any way to snap a object (person) like using bigger aperture..shutter speed and aperture are two different ways to adjust exposure. depth of field has nothing to do with shutter speed... it's all about aperture. if u're using a manual camera, find a way to use a bigger aperture setting. normally this is by using the A or Av mode, and turn DOWN the aperture number (smaller number is bigger aperture)  I tried macro mode, but the effect is not good.. AFAIK canon camera can change the mode to "A" (aperture mode), but my camera can't..  |
