problame with background defocus

SIr, i've tried  so many times by completing requirement of defocusiing. I put object around 30 cms from background and wait for almost 5-7 min with steady hand to blur the background, but still cant defocus background.

beckground defoucs by me ...  actually i must say sorry to sony for all these blasphamy Winking_Face Winking_Face Grinning_Face .. n coardially thankz fo this app.. 
for those who want to get the result ... 
first of all u have to know that it captures TINY images first and defocus it properly so my advice is to put finger in that "SQUARE" ( when it says you to touch the area you want to focus) as i'hve shown in last image ( put finger very close to camera lense )... when you put it would defocus in no time ... ( if not then try to move finger  very slowly away from camera lense and see whether it defocus or not )

in my other images background is almost 4-6 feet away and that DEO bottle if very close to lense ....

my another advice is that please do not put OBJECT ( you want to focus ) on groundflor .. becouse it would be hard for camera to diffrentiate between background and ground flor ... 

but still i can not defocus a background while capturing picture of PERSON ... 

but it feels good after capturing it .. Face_with_stuck-out_Tongue Face_with_stuck-out_Tongue Grinning_Face

You have to tap on the screen first on the object you want,after that you can take the shot.

background must have at least 2-3 foot distance from your object or background must have same depth

otherwise it wont defocus or just a little of background got defocus

You're not alone look at the play store ratings for background defocus for Xperia sp many people rated it 1 star and the reason behind this is same as yours. I'm also facing the same problem.

Background defocus dont work for xperia sp. All the time it shows can't blur background. Sony has just released it to us to show that our sp dont deserve it as its price is lower than xperia z series. Shame on u sony.

i think sony should include tutorial instead of written instruction .. bcz its not a normal camera app ...  Look at the google camera, users can easyly do BG defocus. Even in Z series its easy to use this app ...
