Zooming is a recording technique that lets you change the size of the subject in the scene.
Use "Zoom-in (telephoto)" for dramatic close-ups, and "zoom-out (wide-angle)" for
panoramic long shots. You can also use zooming to focus manually or to decide on a
shooting angle. For more professional-looking recordings, use zooming sparingly.
