How do you focus on two things at once on a camera?
If you want both subjects in focus, then you will need to use a higher aperture number (f-stop). The higher your f-stop number, the more depth of field and the more you will have in focus! So shooting at say, 2.8 would probably not get both subjects in focus. If they were standing close together it might be possible.
What settings to use for panning?
Start with a shutter speed around 1/60 sec and lower it as you get more comfortable with the action. Try 1/30 sec or slower for more blur, 1/125 sec for less. Make sure to switch off your Image Stabilizer – unless you are shooting with a lens with the option of Mode 2 IS – if so, use this.
How do you make smooth panning shots?
To execute the pan, slip the rubber band around your video head’s handle and pull in the direction you want.

Panning: The person holding the camera remains stationary, but follows the subject. If you look at the person from a top-down view, he is essentially swinging the camera in an arc. Tracking: Think of film sets where the camera is tracked, like a train moves on tracks. The camera moves along with the subject.
Why are my panning shots blurry?
It’s a balance – too fast and the subject won’t have moved far enough to give you any streaky background; too slow and it’ll be impossible to accurately track the subject the whole time, resulting in a blurry subject. It depends on how fast your subject’s moving, and how long your lens is.
What effect does a panning shot have?
