Dolly Zoom

The Dolly Zoom effect alters perspective while preserving subject framing, making it ideal for dramatic shots and camera scouting. It allows you to experiment with different focal lengths without losing your composition.

Dolly zoom mode

This feature offers two operational modes:

  • Zoom Driven: The simplest mode; adjusting the zoom automatically moves the camera to keep the subject the same size on screen.
  • Dolly Driven: Moving the camera forward or backward automatically adjusts the zoom to maintain subject framing.

Open the settings menu and locate the “Dolly zoom driven by” setting.
