What is panning?: By focusing on a moving subject such as a train, bike, car, or person, and blurring the background in the direction of the movement, you can make the subject stand out with a dynamic, speedy feel.

M mode is a function that allows you to manually set the shutter speed and F-stop.

STEP.1

Set the dial to M

Shutter speed is important for capturing a clear shot or blurring the background or subject.

Point

Fast shutter speed → less blurry

Slow shutter speed → more blurry

I think you can see that the degree of blurring of the train is different.

SS1/4

SS1/15

SS1/125

SS1/1000

Change the shutter speed depending on the speed of the moving subject.
There are two points to consider when deciding the number:

Point 1: If the subject moves slowly, use a slower shutter speed.
If the subject moves quickly, use a faster shutter speed.

Point 2: ・If the number is low, the background will have a stronger sense of speed, but blur will be more noticeable.
・If the number is high, there will be less blur, but the background will have a weaker sense of speed.
