Panning Photography

STEP 1: SETTING YOUR CAMERA TO MANUAL MODE

No matter what kind of SLR camera you have, having the proper settings is key to being able to take panning shots.

First, make sure that your camera is in manual mode.
On most cameras, this is the M on the mode selection dial.

Along with manual mode, you will also want to change your focus setting to continuous mode.
This allows your camera to continuously focus on and track a moving object as long as you have the shutter release button halfway depressed.
