Tracking and panning

I can't see any different between tracking and panning. I would really appreciate for any clarification I can get.
Thanks

I would say that tracking is done by the camera and panning is done by the photographer.

Tracking is just following a moving subject, usually on servo, you don't have to be releasing the shutter at any point. You can track a bird for example, and fire off 5 shots at 1/500s whilst tracking it.

Panning is when you follow the moving subject, but have the shutter open while you follow it, keeping the subject sharp and the blurring the background. So if you're panning a car with a 1/15s exposure, you're following the car whilst the shutter is open.

Panning is very closely tied with tracking, but not the other way round.

Ah! the mysterie is now comes to light. Great explaination. Clear and precise.Thanks you very very much.
