i was try to move the camera around and i give the camera a few key frame
i.e
(key frame1 (zposition=0)),(key frame10 (zposition=10)),(key frame20 (zposition=20))
in this example
when i go to frame 5 the (zposition=3.75) but the number that i want is 5
when i go to frame 15 the (zposition=16.25) but the number that i want is 15
and when i put more keyframe in it become more messy.......
why? how to fix this problem........

By default DS uses smooth interpolation - you want to change the key type to linear by the sound of it. Casual has a free script to do this, if you check the Freebies forum, or you may want to look at KeyMate/GraphMate in the store.
Like Richard said you seem to be expecting Linear interpolation and by deafult DS used some curve fitting.
If you are really interested in doing manual animation in DS, you need KeyMate/GraphMate. They let you change the interpolation and in graphmate you can see what the interpolation looks like graphically as well as adding and moving key frames.
I'm not familar with the Casual free script. The other thing you can try is double keying, especially at the start and end of a linear move. You can try setting the position to 0 at key frame 1 and 2. Then set position 20 at frames 21 and 22 and position 10 at key frame 11. Your animation now starts at key frame 2 instead of 1, so I moved the other key frames over by one. The double keying will prevent DS from doing crazy curve fitting and give you a more linear interpolation.
That just makes no sense :( I would think that the smoothing would happen from one keyframe to the next, not overwriting all keyframes between the first and last.
The wonkiness of the animate tool is what's kept me from really diving into animating in Daz. I've done a few simple small animations for my games, but they've been a struggle.
right now my solution is making a new camear each keyframe
i want to try the free script thing!!? since i am studing programming in uni
how is the double keying work i dont feel like it is working?....
