The simplest way I can think of wording this very tricky subject is to tell you that a lower number of F stop (usually referred to as aperture) will also reduce the distance from front to back of your subject that will be in focus(usually referred to a Depth Of Field) D.O.F.

So basically you need a camera with an aperture priority mode, select a low F stop, ensure that you have the focus spot on your subject and shoot.

There is a lot more to it that this as Pook has touched on, but that’s the basics.

The good news is that if your Fuji doesn’t have aperture priority mode, your new Canon A95 definitely does.
