I would recommend disabling the POI all together. I’m also not a big fan of defaulting to auto-bezier spatial interpolation. Personally I prefer to turn Transform>Auto-Orient off, make my camera animations with the Camera tool keyframing the Position and Orientation properties, and then going back in and dragging out my own bezier handles where I want them.
