OK, I tried a little experimenting. It does seem that using a PZ3 yields mixed results at best. For the most part, it doesn't work the same way. I had a hunch and tried something. 1. Load the PZ3 2. Edit->Restore Main Camera 3. Pose and set your desired camera angle 4. Select the camera & Edit->Memorize Camera 5. Set Camera Parent to Body of figure 6. Edit->Restore Camera This worked for the couple of PZ3s I tried it on. You can probably parent to the hip as well. What I found is that when you initially restore the camera it seems to change from the camera saved in the PZ3 to whatever your default is. Somehow, it looks like maybe if you don't restore it first, then memorizing and restoring actually restores the saved PZ3 camera. I didn't verify that that's the weird place it jumps to but it's the only thing I can think of. Hope that makes sense and I hope it works for you. I don't know near enough about Poser's behavior to do anything but guess as to what's going on but as I said, this technique seems to work for me.
