I have the Kodak Z710 camera. Do we know if there is the environment where we can take cinema with becloud backgrounds?

If you are talking about Bokeh, the answer is you cannot … not using any P&S camera, unless it has a fast lens and an aperture priority mode. Even then it will be difficult.

If it doesn’t have a manual override for aperture, set it on the portrait program mode (usually a picture of a head). In portrait mode it will give you a more shallow depth of field.

ok, first of all its called the DOF effect, or Depth of field. now im sure your Kodak Z710 can handle it, its all about how you take the photograph, even disposables can show some nice DOF.
Try taking a macro photo, here’s one that i took.
here’s another

What you are describing is called “selective focus” and you do that by using a shallow depth of field. Depth of field means the distance in front and behind your subject that’s in focus. With a shallow depth of field, the subject will be in focus, but the background will be blurry. With a long depth of field, everything is in focus. It’s an optical effect. Unfortunately, you can’t really change the depth of field with a point and shoot digital camera. You really need a camera with manual settings to do that…either a manual film camera, or a digital SLR camera.
The only true way to change the depth of field is with the aperture setting. The aperture is kind of like the iris in your eye. It’s the opening in the lens that allows light in to exposes the film (or sensor with a digital camera). The aperture has settings called “F-stops.” Each F-stop number means a different opening. It’s a little confusing, but it’s actually backwards. So f/11 is actually a bigger aperture than f/16. That’s because the F-stop number is a ratio. The aperture setting changes the exposure, because it changes how much light comes into the camera. A bigger aperture means more light. So f/8 means more light than f/16. But the aperture setting also changes the depth of field. With a bigger aperture, the depth of field will be more shallow, and with a smaller aperture, the depth of field will be longer. So if you want to make the background look softer and blurred out, then you need to use a wider aperture setting, like f/5.6 at least.
You need a camera that has manual aperture and shutter speed settings. You can’t change the aperture on a point and shoot camera. To use selective focus, you really need a manual film camera, or a digital SLR camera. I’ve used the selective focus technique a few times, with manual film cameras.
