This flag modifies the behavior of the distance and zoomRatio flags. If specified, the distance and zoomRatio value will be applied directly.
downDistance (d) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Set the amount of down pan distance in inches
leftDistance (l) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Set the amount of left pan distance in inches
relative (rel) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 

This flag modifies the behavior of the distance and zoomRatio flags. If specified, the distance or zoomRatio value is used multiply the camera’s existing value. By default the relative flag is always on.

rightDistance (r) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Set the amount of right pan distance in inches
upDistance (u) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Set the amount of up pan distance in inches
zoomRatio (z) float ../../../_images/create.gif

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.panZoom

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.camera()
# Result: [nt.Transform(u'camera1'), nt.Camera(u'cameraShape1')] #

pm.panZoom( 'cameraShape1', d=0.3 )

pm.panZoom( 'cameraShape1', abs=True, u=0.4 )

pm.panZoom( 'cameraShape1', z=0.5 )
