To blur the background you can also try to lower the Aperture value to like 4.5 or even 3. It creates less background distractions and allows you to only focus on your subject(s) :)
Hi!.. nice pictures. I also have the same camera. but I cant find the way to blur like that. the battery drained so fast, then charge for too long ( 4hours ). kindly any one teach me how or what should be the settings to blur the background of a picture?...
Hi ! I am Italian, so sorry for my English not perfect ! I want to know how you manage to blurr the background of a photo. Because I have a nikon p 500 too but I don't manage to do it.
@Pipistrella10: hmm, that's weird :/ are you still trying to find the problem? if so, does your city have a best buy or any electronic store that can show you what's wrong?
@ everyone who wants to make a "blurry" background, it's just focus. Depress the shutter button halfway while focused on your subject, and while keeping your finger on the button, move the camera so that the subject doesn't necessarily have to be in the middle. this can be done with any simple point and shoot camera.
@allyounoobsoutthere ...well the "blurriness" of a pic depends on 3 things..like the apreture, distance from the subject, and focan length(wide angle--telezoom)..basically if u set a big apreture(smaller f number) u will get 'blurriness'-small depth of field...search for depth of field and how to control it...
I believe the settings are in the depth of field category, you have to manual focus to your liking. I am not saying im 100% correct, But I have been reading and I think that's what it is. I am ordering this camera tommarow
hey can you tell me something about its macro... is it 1 cm or 10 cm .... thanks :) thinking of buying this cooolll cam .. and how to get that blurry effect.... thanks
Életlen, színtelen és elmosódott képek láthatók ezen a videón.Bízom benne, hogy azért ennél többet tud a Nikon coolpix P500. Vagy az éles képek és az élénk színek itt is csak Marketing mint annyi másik kompaktnál?A képzaj tekintetében viszont jónak tűnik.
i have one of these cameras. Purchased it yesterday... how do you set the depth of field so that the foreground is separated from the background and give off that blurry effect?
@dirkmousedabouse246 did u find out how 2 set the depth of field in the p500 camera? i'm thinking of buying this for the blurred out backgrounds, IF IT WILL ALLOW THAT OPTION. want 2 shoot baby photos...pls tell me ur experience...
@desig1rl You need a low f stop for bokeh that will satisfy. The Nikon's lowest f stop is 3.5. It may be difficult to get the "blurred background" you want.

@Pipistrella10: hold down the silver button half way till you feel the shutter vibrate a little and focus onto an object.
