becomes slower to achieve the panning
effect. As a result, jitter can easily occur.
The panning function does not work well in
the following situations.
During very bright days in summer. We
recommend using an ND filter
(DMW-LND46; optional). (P151)

100th.

because the subject is moving slowly. (The
background will not become a blur.)

only vertical jitters can be compensated in
