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)

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.
