Just had a PM from a new member asking how I get out of focus backgrounds with my P610,the simple answer is most of the time I dont.
Getting out of focus back grounds with a P610 is difficult because the small sensor gives the illusion of more depth of field,so a larger area of your picture is in focus.
This isnt something I can cover in a PM so thought I would start this thread with some example images and a brief explanation.
OOFB (out of focus backgrounds) are achieved most of the time by using the widest possible aperture (the lowest f number) and having the subject a distance from the background.
Now depending on your camera (sensor size) that distance will be more or less,when ime using my D7200 with its DX sensor the subject can be closer to the back ground than it can with my P610,the other main contributing factors are,the closer your subject is to the camera and the longer your lens focal length is will both reduce DOF (the area of your image that looks sharp).
With your P610 you will need to select f3.3 have the lens at the longest focal length (zoomed out)and then move as close to the subject as you can,some times even this will not work but its the best a bridge camera can do.
Here is a example with a great OOFB but the background was about 30ft away
Or you can go for a clutter free background
