Panning
The horizontal movement of a camera when a camera scans an object is called as panning. In technical
terminology, panning is nothing but moving a camera in synchronization with the subject which is
moving in a parallel direction.
Consider a person who wants to capture the image of an animal. As the animal
flies by, the camera also should be moved in such a way that the movement of
the subject matches the object’s speed perfectly.
Appropriate panning refers to capturing motion. The feeling of motion and speed is generated by the
panning technique. The object is shown clearly and the surrounding is shown as a vague impression.
Figure 7.9 depicts the panning technique.

Figure 7.9 depicts a person cycling. Notice the sharpness of the image. The surrounding is hazy but the
image of the person cycling is clear.
