Hi,  
I believe the answer is around using an animation for changing the camera position and for the ‘smooth’ effect apply bezier curves to the camera.  
Probably one of the threads below would be a good start:

> Hi, guys I want a effect about camera when I mouse move(not click or drag), the camera’s alpha, beta will smoothly change a little bit just like the example below how can do that, or what is the key word thank u !

> I have a playground here [Camera movement | Babylon.js Playground (babylonjs.com)](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#A584HZ#26) I set the end frame to be 20 in the example, I get a question about how to solve if the camera is changing from 180 degree to the “sphere1” position or just 20 degrees to the “shpere1” position? If I all set end frame always to be 20, the move from 180 degree will be too fast, is there any thing like camera max speed or calculate the new ‘end frame’ based on distance to the “sphere1” position? Any good suggestion …

Else, let me know and try to post a PG of your case. It always make things a lot easier to debug and share.  
Meanwhile, have a great day 🕶

Huh… this looks pretty much like an animation to me 😁 😉  
But then, you provided the PG so thanks for that 😃 🥰  
And yes, it is smooth indeed 👍

Do you use Universal camera or ArcRotate camera?  
Implementations may differ.
