Problem when I record movies with Canon T2i

I know this is rather old camera in todays digital age but it is an excellent camera, very sharp. Problem is when I am trying to record movies with it. It looks sharp movie but when I am coming closer or when I make zoom with my camera/camcorder movie starts becoming blur. When I am making zoom with camera, some sound occurs too.

It does not work when I manually come closer, neither when to do that with camera. Does anyone know solution for that?

Hi Kristina, welcome!

Can provide more specifics about the equipment you are using: tripod, tripod head, stability rig, video light, etc (but especially the particular lens)?

And the conditions you are shooting in: be it handheld, light amount and type, what you are shooting and how fast it is moving around, what ISO and shutter speed you are set at, how much zoom you are using?

Is it only in the viewfinder, or does it affect the video also?

We can provide some very specific help with this kind of information.

Barring that, the problem sounds like it could be camera shake, subject motion blur, autofocus hunting, and mechanical lens noise (Autofocus, zoom, image stabilization).

Thanks in advance for any info!

The T2i is old enough that it does not have movie servo--that is it will not refocus as you come closer or farther unless you half press the shutter button.
