Rotating the camera up or down on a vertical plane is called what?

Panning

Tilting

Tilting is rotating the camera up or down on a horizontal axis, which changes what you frame in the vertical direction. This motion lets you look up at a subject or down from above, or follow vertical movement. It isn’t panning (left-to-right rotation on a vertical axis), tracking (moving the camera through space), or zooming (changing focal length to magnify the image).
