For video shooting, what is the stability and image quality change of reflex lens during zooming?

In the field of video shooting, the zoom performance of reflex lens is the focus of many videographers. Its stability and image quality change during zooming have unique rules and characteristics.First of all, from the perspective of stability, reflex lens usually shows certain advantages when zooming. Its internal mechanical structure design makes the zoom operation relatively smooth and stable. In the electric zoom mode, the focal length can be changed at a uniform speed through the precise motor drive system, avoiding abrupt focal length jumps, which is extremely critical for video shooting scenes that require smooth lens movement. For example, when shooting landscape documentaries, the cameraman needs to slowly zoom in or out to show the full view or details of the scenery. Reflex lens can well meet the needs of this stable zoom, making the picture transition natural and smooth, and will not cause visual discomfort to the audience. However, some older or low-end reflex lenses may have slight stuttering when zooming, which may be caused by wear or insufficient lubrication of mechanical parts, which will affect the stability of shooting to a certain extent.In terms of image quality changes, when the reflex lens is zoomed, the image quality will be affected by a combination of factors. In a reflex lens with good optical design, the image quality of the central area can remain relatively stable within a certain zoom range. For example, when zooming from the wide-angle end to the mid-focus end, the clarity, contrast and color reproduction of the picture will not show obvious degradation. However, when zooming to the extreme position of the telephoto end, there may be a slight decrease in image quality. This is because the telephoto end requires higher optical correction of the lens, and some aberrations and chromatic aberrations may become more obvious, resulting in a decrease in the sharpness of the edge of the picture, and the saturation and accuracy of the color may also be affected to a certain extent. Moreover, during the entire zoom process, as the aperture size changes (because the aperture may be adjusted automatically or manually at different focal lengths), the depth of field will also change accordingly, which requires the cameraman to flexibly adjust the shooting parameters according to the shooting intention to ensure that the ideal image quality effect can be obtained at different focal lengths.In short, the stability of reflex lenses during the zoom process of video shooting is generally good, but there are also individual differences. Changes in image quality require videographers to fully understand their characteristics and respond to them in actual operations. By reasonably selecting shooting parameters and shooting techniques, the advantages of reflex lenses can be fully utilized to create high-quality video works.
