[Panning] - Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ47 Owner's Manual

[PANNING]

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.
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.)
Note
•
The shutter speed in Panning Mode becomes slower to achieve the panning effect. As a result,
jitter can easily occur.
