When using TrackIR5, if you try to zoom in by moving your head forwards the camera would zoom out and vicea versa. I used all three profiles(Default, 1:1, and Smooth )and it happened every time.

I don't think you have TrackIR centered properly.
Try tapping F12 (center) with your head in a normal position. Sometimes I move my head about an inch forward and then center (F12) the IR camera, as this ensures I viewing the full screen while piloting. (Not so important when on foot.)
About the only issue I have with TrackIR 5, is the slowing of the person while walking/running, and most times only pressing F12 will quickly resolve. Lately though, the F12 hasn't been working to fix this little bug or misconfiguration.
FYI: TrackIR is great when flying, and not very useful while on foot. But I still use it while on foot, as you can look around while running forward or advancing easily. I have more issues though with trying to use the keyboard keys to switch firing positions. Likely should just always use my big clunky Unicomp keyboard, as my fingers won't fall off the keys.
UPDATED 2013-12-25 21:14: OK. Sorry, I'm out of ideas then. I know you can get into the camera configuration view and change the boundaries, but I'm having a tough time figuring it out with my above stated issue of slow-motion. I know I've got the flip/reverse view when going to far figured out with limiting or unlimiting the boundaries, but I'm limited when trying to explain how to save the profiles and using properly TrackIR terminology. Configuring the boundaries is something that usually doesn't need to be done unless you're leaning too far. As to why you only lean a little bit and get this effect, I do not know!

Did a little more customizing with my TrackIR 5 and found the One:One, Deadzone, Slow and Fast option seemingly a template only, and does nothing with the settings. Basically, the template gives you an idea where to place the dots within the graph, to simulate one:one or fast head motions.
So far optimal settings, seem to be in between one:one and fast templates.
My settings: Set the center Y axis to 2.
The next 5 pairs of dots are as follows:
-3,3.5
-7,4.5
-12,5.0
-18,5.0
-27,5.0
This seems to give me a more true one to one head turn rate speed on my 27" monitor. One to one seemed too slow for me, and I had a hard time looking over my shoulder, while fast was too fast. So far, my previously mentioned settings seem optimal. It's not rocket science, as the x/y coordinates I set are just guesses against the Fast template. (BTW, the Mirror option is checked as should be yours by default, so you only have to adjust one coordinate to affect the matched paired coordinate.)
Click create a new profile and save if you want.
NOTE: TrackIR Software has just been updated from 5.2.1 to 5.2.2. I have not tried these settings on 5.2.2 as I just updated just now. Be forewarned, several people have already complained about (GL?) crashing within the 5.2.2 Release post posted to the Forums. http://forums.naturalpoint.com/viewtopic.php?p=54787 (Notice the crash occurs within both nvoglv32.DLL & atioglxx.dll.) I have yet to try or notice any crashing.

For those having problems with TrackIR slowing down (or slo-mo) graphics while running on foot, this is because of the "Video Processing Mode = Precision" by default, and you need to switch this setting to "Standard". Now setting this to Standard helps significantly, but this does not completely solve the slowing-down of graphics while on foot completely!
As far as allowing "standard" to be set by default within the TrackIR configuration files, the corporation stated they were looking into this awhile ago.
Seems to be a few bugs here, and it's not like TrackIR not to fix bugs.

You need to Invert the Yaw axis here a example how to change:

does this solve this issue?

FYI: I've got notice of this, and believe I have tried using invert yaw axis with no effect. But will retest when I have more time.
I think the partial solution was simply to extend the X axis points. Sometimes the X axis terminated at about -40/+40, which would cause a significant slow down when extending the view past the -40/+40 X axis points. However there was still an intermittent (random) slow down at times. And it's possible inverting the Y axis also might solve this completely.
2014.05.17 - Think I've gotten my bug mixed up with this one. This has to deal with reversed zoom as described within the description. I was seeing a bug when moving your head left to right extensively, the entire image on the display would flip into another perspective. Extending the X axis seems to have resolved or reduced this perspective flipping. Invert the Y axis, only reverses the left and right head motions, making looking around seem backwards.
