Keep in mind that if your goal is to take pictures....
You can load the game with higher graphic settings than you would normally play in just to view the battles and get a better shot. And there are some useful keypresses in Battle View.

Such as 1 thru 9 for how detailed the view is. And the "n" key to advance the battle turn by turn.
TIP: Set the image quality to minimum with the 1 (one) key in order to speed up looking around and getting camera angles just right. Then use the space bar to pause it. THEN hit the 9 (nine) key to set the images to their highest quality before snapping the picture.
FUN: Use the "U" key to add your pretender to the image. Then use Paint (or some other paint program) to add a text balloon making him comment. Something like "I TOLD you to use SWARM! But NOooooo! You know better. You are SO getting a Fever Fetish when you get home!"
