OMG. I really HATE the cameras in Poser. It should always be one of the better developed parts of a 3D program but often times it's lacking, just about every program I use has issues with their cameras. Very few put enough effort and make it intuitive.

So my on going issue with the camera's is that when I'm working on posing a figure, there doesn't seem to be a way to make it localized, the cameras seem to be set or hardcoded to be World axis. What I NEED is that when I click on a figure or a part of a figures body that the camera's axis will change to be centered to that joint or that body or that prop. When I'm trying to rotate the camera I end up sometimes out in the middle of no where and that "zoom to area" button only works SOMETIMES. Often times when I click that it can be worse!

IS THERE A WAY to make the camera's behave in a local axis way when clicking on an object? I don't care if I have to buy another script to make this work, I can't keep having my blood pressure go through the roof just trying to get my work done! It's annoying as hell!

Thank you so much Richard

The Posing Camera.

It will at least keep the cameras focus on the figure/prop you are working with. The other alternative would be to create your own special camera for a specific figure and save it to the Camera Library. It's a little more involved to maneuver and position the camera but once you save it to the Library, one click will get you to where you want to be.

Also, you can use the magnifying glass in the Editing Tools panel to zoom into any specific area you want to concentrate on. Select the camera, click on the magnifying glass and draw an area box that you want to enlarge in preview window.

Of course, ctrl+Shift+H will restore the camera to its original default position.

You can also try turning on the obit select mode. the camera will rotate around a selected body part or prop. it doesn't seem to work too well with the body itself selected.

Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated. I was using the Posing camera and that worked a tiny bit better but there were still issues with zooming or rotating out of range and like I stated the "Zoom too" button sometimes makes some weird decisions about where it's going to zoom too and then I just have to hit the Ctrl Z keys and dolly in slowly and around slowly. It's very very time consuming.

Where can I find the "orbit select mode"?

Found it. Never mind!
