Thanks for telling me that. The spherical camera does do what I want. But it is
strange (might be considered a bug) that there are two cameras that do
essentially the same thing. Panoramic is the same as spherical except limited to
180x180, the only thing it has in addition is the strange effect of right, and
would that ever be applicable to anyone? Either way, they could be combined
because right doesn't do anything for the spherical camera.
