[Panning]
When you move the camera to follow a subject moving in one direction such as a runner
or car, the background becomes a blur and the subject stays focused. This effect is called
“panning”. This mode allows you to obtain this effect easier.

Settings
[Auto] The shutter speed is set automatically.
[Shutter-Priority]
As in [Shutter-Priority] mode (→109) , you can rotate the rear dial to
set the shutter speed at which to record pictures. Note, however,
that you can set the shutter speed only within the range in which
a panning technique will have an effect.

Technique for Panning Mode
To obtain good pictures in Panning Mode, move the camera in a horizontal plane as
you take the pictures.
•We recommend that you do not follow the subject with the camera alone, but stand
facing the subject with shoulders squared, and follow it using your entire body, while
twisting at the waist.
•Once the subject is in front of you, press the shutter button. Do not stop moving the
camera even after you press the shutter button.
Move the camera smoothly while
following the subject in the viewfinder
Press the shutter button while you are
moving the camera
Move the camera continuously
●
We recommend the following:
•Using the Viewfinder.
•Selecting a subject with quick motion.
•Using prefocus.
•Use this mode with Burst Mode. (You can then select the best pictures from all the
pictures taken.)
●
The shutter speed in Panning Mode becomes slower to achieve the panning effect. As
a result, jitter can easily occur.
