Recording
Setting for when you want to take pictures of sports scenes or other fast-moving events.
Note
•Shutter speed may slow down for up to 1second.
•This mode is suitable for taking pictures of subjects at distances of 5 m (16 feet) or more.
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.
∫Setting the shutter speed
Select from [Auto] or [Shutter-Priority].
•If you select [Auto], it will not be possible to select the shutter speed.
•If you select [Shutter-Priority], it will switch between shutter speed setting operation and Exposure
Compensation operation every time the rear dial is pressed.
∫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.
1Move the camera smoothly while following the subject in the viewfinder.
2Press the shutter button while you are moving the camera.
3Move 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.)
Note
•The shutter speed in Panning Mode becomes slower to achieve the panning ef fec t. A s a resu lt, jit te r
can easily occur.
