Taking Pictures using Panning Mode

Panning is a technique of moving the camera
tracking a subject in motion.
Using a slower shutter speed when tracking a
subject, you can sharply photograph a subject
in motion while blurring the background.
In very bright summer daylight, if the shutter
speed cannot be set slow enough to blur the
background, please use the ND filter
(DMW-LND55, optional). (P63)
Please try to use the prefocus technique to
reduce the time for focusing while shooting a
fast moving subject. (P39)

Take a picture.

1 Move the camera smoothly while tracking a subject in motion.
2 Press the shutter button while moving the camera.
3 Keep moving the camera continuously.
It is difficult to adjust the focus when the subject has already appeared. Adjust the
focus in advance to the point where the subject is likely to appear.

• Set the AF trigger to [FOCUS] and you can fix the focus even if you press the

shutter button halfway. (P39)

• [AUTO] setting in [W.BALANCE] works best when recording outdoors in the

daytime. When using indoors, the color balance can change. You can change the
white balance setting. (P58)

• In this mode, the stabilizer function is activated on vertical direction only. The

stabilizer function on horizontal direction is cancelled.
