2D or 3D? What are “camera pans”?
In cinematography, it should mean rotations around the Y axis in 3D without any travel 
How do you “hold the camera pans” then? 
To get nitpicky, the camera movement that’s typically called “pan” in computer graphics is actually jib/track in classic cinematographic terms.
There’s also similar mix-up with zoom and dolly.

Capture the mouse motion event in an input event handler, get event’s relative property that contains the distance the mouse moved from its previous position, and add that to camera’s position.
Btw here’s a funny one:
