I am looking for portraits with the best depth of field on the pro 1 please share you settings.
I have tried several things and can not seem to get the blurred background on my portraits on a regular basis.

One shot I did get this on was shot in portrait mode settings in that mode seem kinda odd they were:
Portrait mode:
Shutter Speed 1/80
Av: 3.5
Lens Length was 50 mm

I would like to be able to do this in AV mode.


Thanks,
Sonya

It's the dinky focal length on the camera.

Go into Av mode and reduce that number to as low as possible. Now zoom in as much as possible and be as close to the subject as possible. This will give you the best 'out of focus' effect the camera can muster.

Sandro, the Pro1 doesn't do f/1.8 (I wish).
