There are different types of the way a camera moves(camera movements), however their are four main ones. These four are: Hand held , Panning, Tilting and lastly Tracking.
Hand held is when the person using the camera is not having an concentrated sight on the object or what he/she is trying to film. It is used to create distress and as the name suggests it is held on the hand rather then holding it still on a tripod.
Panning is when the camera moves horizontally where the camera is placed on a tripod it is usually used to follow a moving object which is kept in the middle of the frame.
Tilting has similarities to panning however it is a movement that follows the an object vertically.
Tracking is when the camera moves sideways, following the action. For example the camera could be placed on a car while its driving to portray movement.
