Er... do you know, I've never tried that.

But I did a small animation with the camera staying on the ground and the sled roaring off into the sky, camera tracking the sled.  I'll try changing to locked onto sled as in parent to as well, and see what happens, I'll report back to you.

Yes, it seems that you can start with locked in both distance (that's "Parent Object Name") and centred in the view (that's "Track Object Name") - and the animation follows the sled exactly up to when I changed the "Parent Object Name" to "None" and then the camera keeps the object centred in the view but the camera itself stops moving through the scene.

Handy, eh?

It also allows you to follow the sled with the camera staying where it is but the sled centred in the view, "Track Object Name" and then change to add "Parent Object Name" (keeping "Track Object Name" switched on too) to lock the camera to the sled as it it's distance as well as centred in the view, but I didn't keep that one because my camera starting near the ground and my sled moving somewhat erratically, the camera at one point dipped below the ground place for a while...
