I suspect that they might have switched away from the booster separation on purpose. That's probably a risky moment of the launch, and they may have wanted to avoid televising a disaster like in the Challenger launch.

Aside from that, agreed that the camera work was awful.

I don't think so. Just before they switched away the camera panned wildly and lost track of the rocket. They were pretty clearly switching away because of that.
