I am trying to get better quality photos out of my digital point and shoot camera. The auto focus is not the greatest and when I use manual mode to stop down the apature, things get a bit more dicey.
I want to keep the subject in sharp focus while the foreground and background are pretty much out of focus.
The camera is just a Kodak Z740. Lots of features for snapshots but no manual focus or exposure bracketing.
One shot that came close to the depth of field effect I wanted is here:
It’s the first of the three that you see.
