canon - What is the difference between AI Focus and AI Servo autofocus modes?


Recently I bought a Canon 60D and I am uncertain about when and how to use/activate the AI Focus and AI Servo functions.

With AI Servo AF (for moving subjects), I also press down the shutter button and follow/point towards the subject as it moves around? Till the camera finally finds the autofocus point?


Can someone please explain if this is the correct method?


AI Servo function... I have read the menu, but I am still unsure what this does and when should I use this function.


Lastly, what is the difference of these functions when compared to “panning.”
