    Just zoom or dolly to frame the things you want, in DS you can select the parts and use ctrl-f to frame (but for a head shot you will probably want to increase the camera's focal length to avoid distortion). However if you are wanting to do a series of renders and paste them seamlessly together, as the second hal;f of your post implies, that won't work as there are distortions from perspective. you can turn perspective off, but that will look a little odd. Is there a reason you need to make separate renders, rather than making a single large render and dividing it up?

    If you want to make like a animated comic and want the same render but from different angles and not show all the persons what would I use? I still do not know any terms for what I want to do so sorry for the vagueness and cheers for the replies Richard

    I'm not at all sure what you mean. You can select the items you want to hide in some angles and then go to Create>New group, then clicking the eye on the group in the Scene pane will hide all of the items. Create a new camera for each viewpoint. The hide the unneeded groups, switch to the relevant camera and render.

    A good "how to" on Daz Studio is this PC item [i.e. good price if one has the membership]
