Moms who take good pics
How do you set the camera to have the baby in focus and the rest of the background out of focus?

Re: Moms who take good pics
I know I use the portrait setting. I don't know if it's the same on all cameras but on the Nikon SLR it's the lady's head.

Re: Moms who take good pics
Thanks, I'll try that. Once on that setting, you don't need to change any of the manual functions on the camera do you?

Re: Moms who take good pics
photoshop. there's an option for you to blur the background as little or as much as you want.

I use the potrait setting too if I have my regular lens on.
If I put my 300mm lens (which I almost always use), I don't need to do anything. The background blurs on the automatic setting.

Re: Moms who take good pics
Most times I use automatic setting and when I focus in on one specific thing the rest of the background blurs out.
