Taking Pictures with the 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 the very bright summer daylight, if the 
shutter speed can not be set slower 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)

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 come. Adjust the focus 
in advance to the point where the subject is likely to come.

• 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)

• The stabilizer function is effective only when taking a picture horizontally moving 

the camera from side to side.
