This answer to Have optical zoom systems been used in space exploration? explains that there were video cameras on the Moon that could zoom.

In the video below someone (or something) is zooming the camera showing Commander David Scott in the classic demonstration of dropping a feather and a hammer in the vacuum of space. Was this being done by an astronaut or by remote control from Earth?
