Suppose you have set up your Main camera and really like your settings. Yet, you also want to have a look from another point of view. Then you can use the Auxiliary camera for example to move around without losing the settings you know you like.

Both cameras rotate around the centre of the studio.
If you want to rotate around your selected figure, you should be using the Posing camera.

Don't forget that you can (and should) set Scale and Focal length also. Scale works like a zoom lens (you zoom in or out) whilst Focal length tells with what lens you are looking. For example: if you zoom in with the standard 35mm lens, you get ugly deformed faces. 80-90mm is ideal for portraits. You can test this out for yourself with a few renders of the same face at the same size, but, for example, one with a 35mm camera and zoomed in, and one with a, say, 90mm camera for farther away.
