Slow panning is always the way to go, unless you have a very specific need to do a "whip pan". Watch any movie, and you'll see that all pans are very slow. The reason is because you are exposing each frame for a (relatively small) amount of time and moving the camera a lot during the time the shutter is open. This causes the image to appear smeared... which is called motion blur. Small amounts of motion blur is acceptable, or even desired as it mimics what the eye sees. But large amounts of motion blur is generally not wanted.
To reduce motion blur, do slower pans or increase the shutter speed... but increasing shutter speed may not be possible in the current lighting conditions (making the image too dark), and a fast shutter speed can have negative effects on how the footage looks during playback. Either way, the human eye won't be able to register what it sees when you pan quickly... whip pans are considered a special effect! |
