Depth mapped shadows are fundamentally flawed, regardless of what application you're using for rendering, in that they don't blur realistically.  This isn't really Poser's fault, it is just as wrong in other rendering applications.  You can hide this in many cases depending on how the scene is lit, but at times it becomes very obvious.  There is no setting that will give you realistic blurred depthmapped shadows.
