It doesn't. Well, it does, but the camera doesn't.
For starters, the L-button now centers the camera beind the player, a function the PSP versions lacked. Or if you lock onto a big monster by tapping its icon on the touch screen (an easy reach for your right thumb), the L-button will focus the camera on said monster, while centering the camera behind the player becomes a double-tap of the L-button.
The other addition is the virtual D-pad on the touch screen -- again, an easy reach for your right thumb. It's not perfect, but it hasn't been a problem for me, either. It certainly works better and is more comfortable than the claw.
