You need to be no more than&nbsp;half a meter away from your main target and if this is a person they need to stay very still during the shot as the camera takes two pictures. when it works it takes some very nice shots. hope this helps.</P> Sun, 15 Jun 2014 19:16:14 GMT https://community.sony.si/t5/xperia-archive/background-defocus-never-seems-to-work/m-p/3266076#M407357 steve0 2014-06-15T19:16:14Z Re: Background defocus never seems to work https://community.sony.si/t5/xperia-archive/background-defocus-never-seems-to-work/m-p/3266077#M407358 <P>It works on my Z1 and it should work on Z2 also.You have to be careful at the tips given there.</P> Sun, 15 Jun 2014 20:19:07 GMT https://community.sony.si/t5/xperia-archive/background-defocus-never-seems-to-work/m-p/3266077#M407358 _alexdon_ 2014-06-15T20:19:07Z
