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.
∫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.
1 Move the camera smoothly while following the subject in the viewfinder.
2 Press the shutter button while you are moving the camera.
3 Move 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.)
∫ Setting the shutter speed
1Press  4 to select [SHUTTER-PRIORITY] and press 
[MENU/SET]. •
It can be set from the quick menu (P29) .•If you select [AUTO], it will not be possible to select the shutter 
speed.
2Set the shutter speed using 3/4 on the joystick.
3Take pictures.
Note
•
The shutter speed in Panning Mode becomes slower to achieve the panning effect. As a result, 
jitter can easily occur.
•The panning function does not work well in the following situations.–During very bright days in summer. We recommend using an ND filter (DMW-LND46; 
optional).  (P192)
–When the shutter speed is faster than 1/100th.–When you move the camera too slowly because the subject is moving slowly. (The 
background will not become a blur.)
–When the camera cannot follow the subject well•You cannot set the stabilizer function mode to [MODE2] or [AUTO]. When you set it to 
[MODE1], only vertical jitters can be compensated.

taking pictures with the self-timer.
•We recommend using prefocus  (P85) to focus in advance on a subject, such as a bright star or 
a distant light, that is easy to focus on.
Note

pictures in dimly lit rooms or at nightfall.

from the camera as the point where the fireworks will rise.

second or 2 seconds (The shutter speed becomes 2 seconds only when the camera has 
determined that there is little jitter such as when using a tripod etc.)
–You can change the shutter speed by compensating the exposure.•ISO sensitivity is fixed to [ISO80].
