Hola no entendía su pregunta completamente, sino que pienso que usted está preguntando por diferenciado enfocando eso está poniendo el fondo de la fotografía desenfocado mientras que mantiene el tema agudo. Esto es difícil de hacer con el tipo de cámara fotográfica que usted tiene. Quizás sería provechoso mirar otros postings en este tema o fijar su pregunta en español. Recuerdos.

This is a translation of my crude effort to make a response in Spanish

 Hello I didn’t understand your question fully, but I think that you are asking about  differential focussing that is putting the background of the photograph out of focus whilst keeping the subject sharp. This is difficult to do with the type of camera you have. Perhaps it would be helpful to look at other postings on this subject or post your question in Spanish. Best wishes.

Difficult only in certain circumstances.  This type of camera is quite able to achieve bokeh, not so much on landscapes as an SLR would but still not impossible.

Also, sorry, I don't speak Spanish.

Copy of my response in your other thread of the same subject;

If you are talking about getting a blurred effect (known as Bokeh, from the Japanese for blurred/blurry) then you need to use a low 'f' numbered aperture, in the case of your camera f2.8.  I am not sure whether you mean blurred effect when taking a macro or a landscape type picture, either way the smaller the number aperture, the more the effect.  Smaller number opens the aperture of your lens wider, higher number, in your case f8, will give a smaller aperture thus leaving more in full focus.

I am sure that somebody will come along and post a link so that you might better understand about depth of field.  This is quite an important bit of knowledge if you want to make the most of your photography.

Also, use the manual modes as opposed to full auto.  Some use 'A' which is aperture priority.  you set the lens aperture and the camera will set the shutter speed.

Using 'S' is shutter priority where you set the shutter speed and the camera chooses the best aperture.

'M' is fully manual, you set both shutter and aperture.

I hope this helps a little.  Take lots of pics at different settings, trial and error is one of the best ways to learn.

I don't have a S1000FD, but I do have a Finepix E900 and I know that with a digital compact or with a bridge camera it can be difficult to get a shallow depth of field, but the following may help.

If you are taking someone's portrait outside, try to make sure, if at all possible, that the background is quite some distance away.  Also I have found that on my camera with the camera zoomed out to 67mm (35mm equivalent), the widest aperture I can get is f3.9.  This is not ideal, but is better than nothing.  I set the apeture to the widest (f2.Cool and then zoom in until I see that the aperture has gone done to f3.9 and I know then that I have the focal length set to the best length for portaits. 

Then if when I look through the viewfinder or the screen on the back of the camera the person/s are too far away, I do not zoom in further as this would reduce the size of the aperture even more.  Instead I walk towards the subject until I am close enough.

I think if you try this you may get a reasonably shallow depth of field.  Hopefully this is clear and it helps.

With the camera set on manual you can "fool" the auto focus, to some degree, by turning and focussing (half depress the shutter) on an object at the distance you want to be focussed, then returning to position the part you wish to be out of focus before fully releasing the shutter.

I have this camera and I would never call it full automatic ... it's got all the required manual controls, get out of auto for a start!

For bokeh on your macro shots, use the largest aperture f/2.8, no flash [where possible], use good natural light [patience on that one this time of year] - use super macro mode and a fast shutter speed [1/125 or more] get in close [no zoom in Super macro anyway] and take many shots of your subject, adjusting the ISO/shutter speed to get the right light/effect. If it takes 100 shots to get one good one, so be it.

Forget Program AE or S or A modes, you'll need to use manual mode to achieve the best results. In Auto or semi auto modes the camera doesn't know exactly what effect you desire, it's just ... guessing really. Every situation is different, fine tuning in Manual is the way to go.
