How To Make The Background More In Focus When You Take A Picture On Your Digital Camera

How do I make the background more in of focus when I take a picture?

On a compact digital camera you really don't have a lot of options except for choosing the 'landscape mode'. And in the landscape mode the camera is going to try to give you foreground and background focus. If you want more control over this you need to have an SLR-type camera. In the SLR-type camera you once again would switch from green/auto to the landscape mode, where the camera is going to try to give you foreground and background focus. But, if you're in an SLR camera you can go to 'aperture priority mode' where you can set a narrow lens opening - F/16, F/22 - where you would get foreground (the flowers), the middle ground (the river), the background (the mountains), all in focus by setting to a narrow aperture with wide depth of field.
