KC has some good ideas-BUT...don't use a monopod for pan shots! You must hand hold the camera. It may sound sound stupid but perhaps go outside on the pavement and practice following cars going by-you may get some strange looks but it could help. For pan shots try 125th as this is slow enough to blur the background though keeping the subject sharpe (in most cases). If the subject is little fuzzy it's probably camera shake-it will get better in time. If you use a mono-pod you will almost certainly follow the subject in a small arc - ie the camera will go up and down slightly as you follow left to right or whatever-plus you will hardly be able to keep up with the subject unless its a Malaysian in a Minardi!
