mmmh i dont know if you can convert your current view to a camera view but i think this will work to:
set your Perspective view to Camera View, then open the Motion Options for the camera and set Target Item to the current object!!
now your camera view will be focust on that object and you can fly around with your camera around the object!!
dont try to rotate the camera when targeted at a object, because that will not work!!
EDIT: oops i put in some dutch words in my text
