This effect is not suited to bird photography though.There's no other in camera bokeh tool that I know of but increasing the sharpening and/or contrast could give the illusion of better separation.Basically, for any given f number, the wider the angle of view, the larger the depth of field. Then, opening the aperture wider, reduces that depth of field.Macro is similar but we are usually demanding more depth of field which requires a smaller aperture, then we can't use as fast a shutter as we would like.</blockquote>
