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.
Quality - was curious about trying out DOF and this thread has been most useful - I now know how to (in theory at least) and that I can on my camera!
