Taking Pictures with Aperture-priority AE
When you want the background to be in sharp focus, set the aperture value to a 
higher number. The higher the aperture value, the smaller the aperture opening will 
be. For a soft focus background, set the aperture number to a lower number which 
corresponds to a larger aperture opening.
