Most of the time when I use that ball on the left of the screen in Poser, the scene seems to rotate around the figure. But every now and then rotate around some other origin so the figure quickly rotates off screen. That makes it had to set up you shot to render. You have to keep rotating and then dragging to get the figure back in the scene. So why does this happen? And how do I get it back to the normal rotation.

Thanks.

Which camera are you using?  Also, if you move a figure off center and use frame it will center it back up but when the main camera is rotated will behave as you stated.  You might want to use the pose camera to setup your figure(s) and the main camera to get the shot.  Without seeing what you did and which camera you selected or the mode you used it will be very hard to tell yo9u how to get back to a plain camera setup.

I pretty much have used the main camera for everything. And then when I have the scene about set, I switch to the auxillary camera to make any adjustments. I forgot about the posing camera. I'll have to give it a go.

Alt-click to reset a memory dot, click on an empty to store, on a non-empty to reselect the right cam and move it at the right position

Also don't forget to check orbit selected mode. That controls the action you describe.

Thanks for sharing your tips. I'll keep them all in mind going forward.
