I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but I hope this helps. You're talking about adjusting the aperture setting on the lens to make a short depth of field. So your subject is in focus, but the background is blurred so it doesn't detract from the subject. A little difficult to do on your camera I think. An SLR type camera has the aperture setting on the barrel of the lens, and is readily adjusted. On your camera, you'd have to go into the program exposure mode, and set the ISO, and shutter speed to derive the widest (smallest number) aperture available. You may even have to adjust the exposure compensation to help out. You'll likely have to play around with it and experiment some to get the best desired results, but you should be able to do some adjustment, and get more or less what you want. Your type of camera really is aimed more towards the point and shoot crowd, albeit the high end of that crowd, and doesn't lend itself readily to a whole lot of creative photography. Good Luck!

Set your camera to manual and select "A" for aperture priority. Then select the largest aperture (largest means the one with the smallest number like f2). This will give the lens a shallow depth of field wherein the subject will be in focus while the rest will be blurry.

This can be done by using a large aperture. (f/stop) This is known as the "Depth of field" With a large lens opening you only have a small area in focus. Your best bet is to experiment with different openings. If you are shooting in bright light, you will have to compensate for the large aperture by using a faster shutter speed. Good luck.

Same here... you need to keep your appature fast and large. Might slow your speed down somewhat. Keep your f-stop lowest it can be and shoot according to the meter. Are you using fill lighting? it sometime will force a short focus on "automatic" for the fill flash... it will be in sharper focuc.
Good luck with your project...

All you have to do is read your owner's manual~
