Not sure what you mean here:
If you mean the camera shows a certian person in the group, name that person then _camera settarget personsname
If you mean a camera with a first person view that moves around, set the camera target somewhere, then move the camera with a slow camcommit and it will move to the next point.
I attached a simple "mission" below to show what I mean

No, I mean that the camera should be out of the view of a soldier, just like you always see it if you play sp.
First Person.

Try this:

unit switchCamera mode
Operand types:
    unit: Object
    mode: String
Type of returned value:
    Nothing
Description:
    Switch camera to given vehicle / camera. Mode is one of: "INTERNAL" (1st person), "GUNNER" (optics / sights), "EXTERNAL" (3rd person), "GROUP" (group).

Example:
    sniperOne switchCamera "gunner"
