to be able to take screenshots you need to edit the Oblivion.ini (:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Oblivion.ini)

find the line bAllowScreenShot=0

and change it to bAllowScreenShot=1

save it and exit

now you can take screenshots with the print screen key

 

im not sure what you mean about the camera tho

if you're referring to being able to rotate the camera around you're person just hold down the R key and move the mouse

To change the camera view - use the console command TFC (Toggle Free Camera). It allows you to move the camera around to wherever you want it. If you need to know how to use the console, see the Wiki explanation for the console here: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Console

 

It also gives a list of the console commands that can be used in the game.

 

To get your character to pose for the camera try this mod: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6239

 

There are other pose mods, just use the search search on the tesnexus to find some.

 

You can get good screen shots this way.

I had no luck with editing the ini file, for some reason it just would not take screenshots. I don't know if this is a Vista problem, or what, but I have been very pleased with the trial version of FRAPS, as well as the flying camera mod, which lets you choose a button to toggle the flying camera, as well as toggle the menus. Or even one for each if you want, both programs can be found through a search on the Nexus. The only real issue is Fraps takes a Bitmap image so I keep having to save it again as Jpeg to save some space, but no big deal.
