aperture +shutter + ios

[littleblaksheep]

Hi, I apologize in advance if this has been discussed.
I can't get my settings right, I'm attempting to take photos with that perfect blur in the back round.
I noticed my aperture doesn't go under 4?
Any advice? My subjects are typically my kids.

What you have to remember about aperture settings is that the "f/" number is the ratio of the lens's focal length to the diameter of its aperture. So for any given focal length, the larger that number is, the smaller the aperture.
