Hi Courtney,
Many users of the Z612 (and other Kodak ultrazoom cameras) have complained about this phenomenon. It's apparently simply a design flaw in the Kodak zoom/focusing system. Canon, for instance, has an ultrasonic motor system on their zoom lenses, which allows them to operate silently when in movie mode--Kodak simply chose not to include this sort of technology in their cameras, probably as some sort of cost-cutting measure.
That said, some users have managed to reduce lens noise by going into the camera's setup menu and changing both AF control and Image Stabilization to "Single". This will make the focus and image stabilization activate only when you press the shutter release, instead of constantly attempting to keep focus. I'm not sure if this method will reduce noise in movie mode or just when shooting stills, but it's worth a try.
Good luck!
