The dropdown at the top of the preview window does not change your camera view. that just selects the camera for moving.

if you want to change views right click in the preview area and choose a camera under the camera view.

personaly i prefer using the keyboard short cuts.... especially since you can edit your  Poser7/runtime/ui/poser.xrc file and make the shortucts what you want.
