is there any way to prevent unwanted camera re-orientation ?

[boolybooly]

eg when lifting off from Minmus with a Kerbal in EVA, the reorientation of the camera on reaching orbit completely screws up the orientation of the camera and thus the orientation of the Kerbal which follows the camera. This loses the bearing and and wastes critical monopropellant. Would like to avoid this. Would also like to avoid unsolicited camera changes on larger craft as likewise it screws up the orientation of the thrid person perspective.

just don't have your camera set to "auto"

I have looked through setting but there is no way to avoid starting every launch set to auto.

It appears to be the default camera.

It needs a way to set another default, like free.
