Is it manual aperture and shutter settings? So if a camera has manual aperture and shutter settings it would be able to do that?
Thank you @SquarePeg for your guidance. In reading through the posts, I didn't see any followup by the OP. I mean no disrespect to those that responded because they do for the most part know what they're talking about, but I fear the collective flexing of technical muscle might have scared off the OP, as I've seen no follow up by the OP. I don't want to assume the skill level of the OP but based on the wording I would assume limited.
So as a simple answer to the question you posed - Yes you can set your camera to manual and achieve an OOF background. My suggestion is that, if you have a tripod, great if not, try to stay in the same spot. Set the camera to full manual, and take a series of shots adjusting your aperture from about f/8 down to as open as it will go. It's important to maintain the same distance and focus between shots, adjusting the shutter, only to obtain the proper exposure. Once you have this series of shots, you'll have a much better understanding of what all the above posters have been trying to explain.
