background image

DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis 

on the subject.  Now our point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit.  The 

system takes two shots, identifies the background and applies a defocused background keeping 

the subject crisp and clear.
