How do I lock the camera?

If you take a closer look at toggles inside the Camera > Customize Navigation window, you'll notice that you can disable certain events.

For camera rotation around a pick point or object, it can be NAVI_ZB or Rotate in Screen Space.

I repost the link to Taros's video tutorial on " How to start to painting outside mesh borders"

What that means is that you can start your paint stroke outside the mesh and when the stroke hits the mesh, the paint is applied... The object is not rotated.

You could disable the NAVI ZONE at the very bottom of the Custom Navigation panel and you could disable the LMB action from rotating outside the object, by finding that LMB action in the panel and unchecking OUTSIDE THE OBJECT. This video shows how to setup a custom action, such as Trackball Rotation. You can get an idea how it works. If it works for you, make sure to save as a Preset, in that Panel. It's a button toward the top of the panel.

Also, for future reference, you can have 3D Coat ZOOM EXTENTS/FRAME OBJECT in the Navigation bar, by clicking the ALL icon...or SHIFT + Z. Another option is to click the crossed out "O" icon, 2 spaces to the right, in the Navigation bar. That sets your navigation to the default camera view...as if you opened the app for the first time.
