weird question since I don't know what I'm doing wrong

how can I ensure a blurred background ? Sometimes w same lens and settings the background will blur and sometimes it doesn't. How can I guarantee blur?

Pretty much almost any lens on your T4i can make a blurred background.

For more "bokeh" do the following:

1. Use a smaller aperture

2. Use a longer focal length

3. Come closer to the subject

4. Move the subject farther from the background

5. Pay attention to background lighting
