Power zoom (PZ) lenses use electronic motors to control zoom movements, rather than the mechanical zoom ring found on traditional lenses. Their main advantages include smooth, consistent zoom transitions during video recording, the ability to control zoom speed precisely (useful for cinematic effects), remote zoom control via camera apps or accessories, and reduced hand movement that could cause camera shake. They're particularly valuable for videographers, as they can create professional-looking zoom effects without the jerky movements often associated with manual zooming.
