private _pos2 = player modelToWorld [0, 50, 50];

private _cam = "camera" camCreate _pos1;
_cam cameraEffect ["INTERNAL", "BACK"];

_cam camSetPos _pos2;
_cam camSetDir (_pos2 vectorFromTo _pos1);
_cam camCommit 5;
waitUntil { camCommitted _cam };

_cam camSetPos _pos1;
_cam camCommit 5;

Example 2

Before Arma 3:

private _pos1 = player modelToWorld [0, 5, 5];
private _pos2 = player modelToWorld [0, 50, 50];

private _cam = "camera" camCreate _pos1;
_cam cameraEffect ["INTERNAL", "BACK"];

_cam camSetPos _pos2;
_cam camSetDir 180;
_cam camCommit 5;
waitUntil { camCommitted _cam };

_cam camSetPos _pos1;
_cam camCommit 5;
