It doesn't really matter that much so I wouldn't worry about it. If you want to get the nice blury background then just follow the simple advice above. Namely...

Get close to your subject
Zoom in
Make sure the subject is as far away from the background as possible
Use a large aperture (small f/numbers) if your camera can control this.
