In still Photography, it involves keeping a subject in the view finder when it is moving diagonally or transversely with respect to the photographers position. The exposure is made while the camera is following and does not stop until the shutter has closed. The effect varies with the speed of the pan (due to the speed of the subject) and the shutter speed used. Slower shutter speeds and fast pans will blur the background extensively while the subject is rendered more sharply. If this is a car, most of it would be sharp if done correctly. However, a running person's torso may be relatively sharp while their legs and arms would not be. With manual focused lenses, it is necessary to pre-focus on the same plane that the subject will be in at the anticipated moment of exposure before the pan begins. In motion picture photography, panning involves moving the camera through a range of distance while the film/video is running (the images are being taken).
