To obtain a blurry background or to make everything near and far look
sharp, set the Mode Dial to <f> (Aperture-priority AE) to adjust the
depth of field (range of acceptable focus).
* <f> stands for Aperture value which is the size of the diaphragm hole inside
the lens.

Set the desired aperture.
The higher the aperture f-number, the
sharper the picture will look with a

Turning the <6> dial to the right will
set a higher f-number, and turning it
to the left will set a lower f-number.
