• In [Panning], camera movement is detected and the optimal shutter speed is controlled
when moving the camera to track a moving subject. It is convenient for shooting moving
subjects as if the background is fl owing.
In [Panning],
J
is displayed during panning detection, and
I
is displayed when
nothing is detected.
When using a lens with an image stabilizer switch in [Panning], turn the image stabilizer
switch off.
Suffi cient panning effects may not be obtained in bright conditions. Use a commercially
available ND fi lter to obtain effects more easily.
