Taking Pictures using Panning Mode

 

Panning is a technique of moving the camera

1

tracking a subject in motion.

Using a slower shutter speed when tracking a

 

2

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). (P59)

 

Please try to use the prefocus technique to

 

reduce the time for focusing while shooting a

 

fast moving subject. (P38)

 

1

Set the mode dial to Panning mode

 

 

[

].

 

2

Take a picture.

• The recording method is the same as in “Taking Pictures”. (P28)

1Move 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. (P38)

White balance is set to [AUTO] in the default position. You can change the setting. (P55)

The stabilizer function is effective only when taking a picture horizontally moving the camera from side to side.
