defocusing
Making images unclear
Defocusing is the act of moving out of sharp focus, whether literally with a camera lens or figuratively with attention.
A photographer might defocus the background to emphasize a subject.
Mentally, defocusing can mean relaxing concentrated attention: Try defocusing your gaze and letting your peripheral vision take over.
Also spelled defocussing.
