Knocking background out of focus

I think carrying a camera such as this will lead to me taking more photos. I'll kill a DSLR very quickly. Great to have but for me it's a no go area. The phone is good but I would like more functions and something camera dedicated. The video is good too, in fact that's as important.

Cheers, Paulz
It's an exploration; bring a flyrod.

Video is good too, but given how you destroy things, you need something bomb proof I guess... You can check it in June if I haven't killed the phone before ;)

Flycasting, so simple that instructors need to make it complicated since 1685

Got a Q++ at casting school, wearing shorts ;)

focus on the subject whilst holding the button half way,then move the camera sideways will still holding the button so the subject is in the rule of 3.the camera should take the photo of the subject and the background will be slightly blurred.The subject can't have any background close behind as it will read and combine that in with photo.
Ive just bought the OMD EM5 mark2.and in auto mode there is a function for newbys to blur the background.
