Need help taking photos! Most if not all of my photos are blurred and i use the auto focus! If anyone can help, please make it as simple as you can!
if you are photographing from a replay, use Panning mode #3
Yes, for most circumstances this will help!
Ok this may sound stupid but could some one explain the differences between the panning modes. To me they all look the same.
Think of it as IRL trying to snap a shot of something which is moving. Mode #1 doesn't pan at all. It just snaps a shot of whatever is happening as if the camera were still. If you use a high enough shutter speed with this, and a high enough value on the Aperture, the blur can be tolerable or not noticable.
If you want motion blur, you have to use either #2 or #3. I'm not exactly sure what #2 is doing, but with both #2 or #3, you must manually focus on the object you DON"T want motion blur on.
So, if using Mode #3, hit square on the front of the car, and then if you also use a lower setting on the shutter speed, you'll see motion blur on everything around the car.

If you want the car to be blurry, then hit square to focus on the scenery or road and then if you use a lower shutter speed it will make the car look like it's zooming by.

I hope this helped! EDIT: Both images use Mode #3, but the square is manually focussed on different things.
