Hello everyone !
Since yesterday I have a problem in Poser 11 Pro that has never happened to me before...Did I do or touch something that I shouldn't have touched? What happens to me is that when I have the scene with the "Main Camera" set and I start the render what I get is a black rectangle. While if I opt for the "Posing Camera" I can have the normal render. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your help.

Did you reset the Main Camera to its default settings?

Where is the Main Camera positioned? This can happen if an object, like a visible ground plan or a wall, is between the Main Camera and the rest of the scene.

Thank you all ! The funny thing is that I had used the walls of this room before and I absolutely don't remember moving one of the walls...I'm definitely getting old..

If you want to see the reduced render you can see it HERE. Despite the wrong "Chamber" it didn't come out bad...

Here is a little trick that can help to move the main camera correctly, or at least to retrieve it..  

1. Switch to the top camera
2. In the Hierarchy window, activate the display of the cams
3. Select the main cam and make it visible
4. Go to the Menu: Display > Object Style, select one of the possibilities, example:

Yay !! Neat !!!

I often find some juggling of camera position plus camera's 'hither' setting allows sufficient suppression of 'photo-bomb' pillars, walls etc...

It's when entire scene renders black that the real head-scratching begins...

Indeed, we've all encountered such situations...
