If so, your camera, as with many compacts, has very little control in this area. Gary

That is the best background blur you can achieve.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

To me, a vignette is a light falloff on the corners which translates into a dark fade rather than just a blur.

JustShootin' Senior Member 820 posts Joined Jan 2007 Location: South Florida More info | Well he did say "blur", and he also said "set" the camera to do the job, which seems to rule out post processing. I think he meant depth of field, but what would be nice, is for him to jump in and tell us exactly what he did mean. Gary

It would also rule out post processing because of the title of the thread.. he is asking if there is a "mode" on the sd1000 for blur. So it simply couldn't mean photoshop as he is definitely talking about on-camera functionality.
