Why does the camera randomly go into the Skell?

Sometimes, randomly, while I'm doing combat in a Skell, my camera will shift into the Skell and I can see my character doing attacks. I've noticed this resets all of my cooldowns, and the way to get out of it seems to be random. I find this effect very jarring, and I'd like to disable it if possible. If not, knowing why it happens would be beneficial all the same.
