Conveying a Sense of Speed by Blurring the
Background (Panning)
Still Images
Movies
By panning, you can blur the background to convey a sense of speed. The
camera will detect and correct subject blurring, so the subject will remain
relatively clear and sharp.
1
Choose [
].
z
Follow steps 1 – 2 in “Specific Scenes”
(
=
56) and choose [
].
2
Shoot.
z
Before shooting, press the shutter button
halfway as you move the camera so that
it follows the subject.
z
Keep the moving subject in the frame
displayed, and press the shutter button all
the way down.
z
Even after you have pressed the shutter
button fully, continue moving the camera
to follow the subject.
Try taking some test shots first to make sure you obtain the
desired results.
To adjust the effect level, turn the [
] dial.
You can move the frame by dragging it or touching the screen.
For best results, hold the camera securely in both hands, with
your elbows close to your body, and rotate your whole body to
follow the subject.
This feature is more effective for subjects moving horizontally,
such as cars or trains.
In some scenes, expected images may not be saved, and images
may not look as expected.
Shooting may stop midway if you move the camera too slowly or
quickly. However, the panorama created up to that point will still
be saved.
Images created from shots in [
] mode are large. Use a
computer or other device to reduce panorama images if you will
print them by inserting a memory card in a Canon printer.
If panoramas are not compatible with certain software or Web
services, try resizing them on a computer.
The following subjects and scenes may not be stitched correctly.
-
Subjects that are moving
-
Subjects that are nearby
-
Scenes where the contrast varies greatly
-
Scenes with long stretches of the same color or pattern, such
as the sea or sky
You can also set the shooting direction by touching [
].
