What is Dolly Zoom?

Also known as Zoom-Effect, is a popular cinematic technique. 

The essence of the Dolly Zoom is that, while changing the focal length of the camera lens, the camera itself moves simultaneously. This creates an effect where the subject’s size remains constant, but the background changes in size. Traditionally, achieving this effect required a skilled camera operator and professional camera track equipment. Now, with Dolly Zoom Mode, you can easily achieve this cinematic effect automatically.
