Hello Bellaire-Bob,

Did you attach the camera to the character? If so, replacing the character in this situation will cause the camera to be removed as well (similar to how accessories are cleared).

If the issue is not due to Attach, please provide your project or a recording of your actions so we can verify the problem.
Please upload the file to a cloud drive and share the download link with us. If needed, you can set your reply with the link as a private message.

Thank you!
Tina
