German term

weggeschwenkt

German to English Tech/Engineering Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts)
Wegen versuchten Widerstands gegen die Staatsgewalt wurde Werner zu drei Monaten unbedingter Haft und Hermann zu vier Monaten bedingter Haft verurteilt. Dass auf einem von einem zufällig vorbeigekommenen Filmteam gemachten Video von Widerstandsversuchen nicht das Geringste zu sehen ist, konnte daran nichts ändern. Die Taten sollen vorher oder immer just gerade dann, wenn die Kamera weggeschwenkt wurde, gesetzt worden sein.

panned away

Common camera term.
For example: "During the Academy Awards special on March 26 on live TV, in front of a worldwide audience, a young man at the back of the room fell out of his wheelchair and the camera quickly *panned away*. Not until much later in the broadcast did viewers learn that the tumble had been an ebullient response by Dan Keplinger, overjoyed that the documentary about his life, "King Gimp" had won an Oscar.
