Panning
Panning is employed when shooting a scene from one position to
another by moving the camera around horizontally to make a con­
tinuous shot over a wide area in one sequence.
# Do not move the camera too rapidly in any direction, particularly
vertically. Use of a tripod is recommended.
4 Panning shots are usually started from subjects of less impor­
tance and move on to the most important subject where it ends
by running the film longer on the last sequence.
^ It is important, when shooting panoramic pictures, to move the
camera at a constant speed.
Remote Control
With the use of a separately available remote control switch you
can operate the camera from a distance.
