[SCENE MODE] menu (Refer to P71 for information about how to select the menu.)
When you take a picture following the
motion of a subject which moves in a
certain direction such as a runner or a car,
the background will show some motion blur.
This special effect is called “panning”. This
mode allows you to obtain this effect easier.
∫ Technique for Panning mode
To achieve good pictures in panning mode,
pick a horizontal plane –and then pan as
you fire shots.
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.
• Be careful of the following:
– Use the Viewfinder. (P25)
– Select a subject with quick motion.
– Prefocus to the point where the subject
will arrive. (P48)
– Use this mode with burst mode. (P57)
Select the best picture from the pictures
taken.
• In panning mode, the shutter speed
becomes slower than usual to achieve the
panning effect. As a result, jitter can easily
occur.
• Panning function does not work well in the
following situations.
– Very bright scenes such as daytime in
summer. We recommend using an ND
filter (DMW-LND55; optional). (P126)
– When the shutter speed is faster than
1/100th.
– When the subject moves slowly and the
tracking speed is too slow. (The
background cannot be recorded
dynamically.)
• You cannot set the stabilizer function
mode to [MODE2]. When [MODE1] is
selected, only vertical jitters can be
compensated in panning mode.
• The ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO80].
• The settings on the AF assist lamp and
the continuous AF are disabled.
