Panning can be performed at any speed.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Depends on lighting
• D. With training only

Answer: (A)

Panning is moving the camera to follow a moving subject, and you can do it at any speed. The pace you choose affects the look of the image: a fast pan keeps up with quick subjects and often results in less background blur, while a slow pan creates stronger background streaks and a different sense of motion. Lighting changes how you set your exposure (shutter speed and sensitivity), but it doesn’t prevent you from choosing any pan speed; you just adjust exposure to keep the scene properly lit. Training helps you execute the motion smoothly, but the capability to pan at various speeds isn’t restricted.
