This cinematic effect is most commonly used by makers of documentaries on subjects where principally still material (photographs, paintings etc) is available. To bring the still material to life, for example, the camera zooms in on subjects of interest and then pans from one subject to another, finally coming to rest on the element which is the subject of the voice-over narration.
This effect is also present in many professional and home software applications (the iPhoto, iMovie etc from Apple) and is named after the guy who popularized it in some epoch making documentaries.
What is this effect called?
