How to take pictures where the background is blurry?

My friend just got a Nikon Coolpix P80 camera. She is trying to figure out how to take a picture where the background is blurry and the closest object is clear.

Can someone explain how to do this? I don't know if it is the same with all cameras.

She has read her manual but can't seem to figure it out.

I would like to know too because I may get a camera like this also. Neither of us are very knowledgeable about cameras/camera lingo.

Thanks! :)

Do digital cameras take pictures && VIDEO?

Okayy, i am shopping for a digital camera that takes both good pictures & Video for recording stuff. (:

I want it to be a nice color, preferably black, so yeahh. My price range is around $100-150.
It can be a Sony, Coolpix, Canon, Nixon, something nice (: I want it to be those skinny digital cameras not those big fat ones, lol.

QUESTIONS: *Need answers* !

THANK YOU!

Why won't my Nikon S3000 (Coolpix) autofocus whilst taking a photo?

Focusing works fine normally, but when it fine focus' just before fully pressing the button, it makes a clicking/grinding sound and a red box appears on the screen, where a blue box normally would to show the position of the supposed subject. Could this just be sand/grit? If so, how can this be fixed as it isn't covered in the warranty.

Thanks!

Which waterproof rugged camera?

I'm looking for a waterproof camera for an upcoming trip to Spain. I've looked around some, and am hoping to get one for under $200. I'm no professional photographer or photo enthusiast, although I am looking for good picture quality.
So far, I'm leaning towards the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS25, but I am also considering the cheaper Panasonic DMC-TS30. Is it worth it to go with the more expensive TS25? What are the benefits?
I have also looked into the Nikon Coolpix S32. I realize this camera is geared more towards young people, but it can go farther under water (33 feet instead of 23) and seems to offer similar features at a far lower price. If I were to choose this camera, would I be sacrificing photo quality, and if so how much?
If there are better choices for value or quality with similar features under $200, what are they and what are their advantages?
I realize i have asked many questions but I really appreciate any and all responses!

What s a good cheap camera with an auto focus (for fashion photography)?

I take pictures of myself for my etsy vintage shop, a lot of the process requires running between the camera and my setup (usually just a blank white wall) and trusting my coolpix L120 to focus on me enough to have a good shot.

The pictures often come out dark, even with a modest lighting setup (cheapish but functional umbrella stands and what not). I try to use a program (picasa) to brighten them up, but then they look grainy.

I know a lot of it is not my cameras fault, but are there any cameras with a good auto focus that pick up light really well? Preferably under $500. And any other tips or tricks would be appreciated!

Thanks:)

Difference between Telephoto Zoom and Macro lense?

So i'm trying to get a DSLR camera for my personal use. Its either a Canon EOS Rebel T5i or Nikon D5300. I know that the lenses that come with it is good for normal pictures and minimal extra uses. But I also want to get another lens that is better for one purpose. I like the idea of telephoto zoom, but I use macro heavily on my current digital camera (Nikon Coolpix L110). I use the camera mostly for zoomed in photos or close objects. I also use it for some portraits and landscapes. Which is better for my usage? And my price range for the lenses is 350 dollars max.

Camera for Nail Art Photography?

So this may sound strange, but I would like to know what type of camera+accessories to buy for taking nail pictures. I currently have a Nikon Coolpix P510 and really need a new one. My Instagram is youvegot_nail. If you look at my photos you can see that the lighting is weird (not my lights though, it's the camera) and the photos are fuzzy and dull. So what should I buy? Please include specifics so I can buy exactly what I need. Keep price below $1,500 unless truly worth going over. Thank you!

How to fix a broken tripod socket?

Today the tripod socket on my Nikon Coolpix L330 snapped and a piece of it broke out.

Any camera tips or advice for starting a YouTube channel?

So, for starters I chose on more of a blogging channel ( not much different from other YouTubers such as Conner Franta, Danisnotonfire, AmazingPhil, Caspar, etc.) but I have been stuck with a few setbacks that leave me a bit overwhelmed.

The first problem I have been confronted with is my camera choice. A few years back, I bought myself for strictly photography purposes. This camera was none other than the Nikon Coolpix L820. I spent around $200 for this camera, not including the tripod or means of carrying it in a specialized bag. I do not wish to spend any more money to buy another camera or something of the sorts if not necessary. This camera does not have flip screen, sadly, which is a key element when it comes to filming yourself. Is there any advice for a makeshift flip screen or do I defiantly need a different camera?

My second setback would be an editing program. I am not too worried about this because I do plan to buy the Adobe Premier Pro video editing program sometime in the near future and I do have experience with some video editing for friends. I have to admit, it is a bit pricey for someone who is just starting a channel (around $300 ) but I absolutely LOVE the effects they provide for your videos. Is there any suggestions of another program around the same price or possibly cheaper with equal or better quality?

If you would like to throw any tips in there from experience go ahead. The more the merrier! These tips do not have to relate to the two questions
