Re: Technique for smooth video zooming

The real answer is do not zoom. The reason for a zoom lens is to give you a range of focal lengths. There are only a couple of occasions when a zoom will add anything to a shot and most of the time it will only look amateurish. Watch a professional video and count the number of zooms. It won't take you long.
