Camera Lock for Screenshots?

Hi is there anyway I can lock the camera position to see a certain view of my pirate (i.e front view, side view). For example in this video https://www.pirate101.com/free_game/videos/updated_trailer at 0:14-0:17 we see frontal views of the pirate instead of backwards like in the game.

Right now whenever I take screenshots I have to rotate the camera via my cursor until I get a desired view, hold the cursor, and then take a screenshot. I am not a fan of holding the cursor, as if I let it go the camera rotates back to the original view, which I do not desire.

As far as I know, that's the only way to make a personal portrait screenshot.

How would your idea work if you were in the middle of a battle and you wanted to get a screenshot of you attacking an enemy? Would locking still be possible?

It would not affect battle. Changing camera angles in battle would be cool but that's irrelevant and a waste of time to implement imo. I only want to change and lock views in normal situations for screenshots.
