Your child is swinging, running, playing actively.
Now you can capture pure energy in pictures!
Kid won1t slow down? Panning* technique is trickYI but worth trying.
Just set a Canon IS Lens to Mode 2 to correct vertical camera shake while taking pictures.
The result? Panning shots made easy - so you can catch that kid for keeps!

How can you get good panning shots?
If you know the optimal setting
l
panning techniques
can get better results. Here1s one example
(with EF70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM):
1. Turn the IS function on and select IS Mode 2.
2.
To improve your success, shoot at around 100-200mm
(rather than an extreme 300mm telephoto setting).
3. Select
the camera Tv exposure mode and 1/60 sec.
shutter speed. Select AI Servo AF as the autofocus mode.
4.
While keeping the moving subject in the viewfinder,
press
the shutter button halfway down and hold.
5. Then, at the right moment, press the shutter button
all
the way down to take the shot while continuing to follow the subject.
Keep using this technique while taking several photos.
Go ahead! Impress yourself with panning shots like a pro!
What's the best shutter speed?
Actually, there's no simple answer. The optimal shutter speed varies depending
on the amount of subject motion and other conditions. If the shutter speed is too
fast, images appear static and lacking in energy; if the shutter speed is too
slow, images may be completely blurred. Find the best shutter speed by trial
and error. Check results in the LCD monitor right after shooting and decide the
best shutter speed for yourself.
Picture problems
Chasing your child with the camera? It's hard to
even keep the kid in your viewfinder! And when
you take the shot, you push the shutter button
too hard - shaking the camera and creating
vertical blurring. But no morel Canon IS Lenses
with Mode 2 help you get the picture right.
