For a weird, distorting effect, press control to zoom all the way out and pan around. It seems that it tries to put you're view point "behind" the actual camera location. Not sure if it's a "bug" or not, but it looks neat nonetheless. |

Oops! We forgot to limit the maximum FOV. you are referring to a field of view of 140º which is, yes, crazy! we'll switch it so that its' limited to 110º when you zoom out.
Incidentally, photos can be shown in many different projections. Rectilinear is the "normal" kind. For more fun, you can right-click on the panorama, and select other projections, including stereographic and little planet. these can show a much larger FOV and still look ok, because they curve some of the lines which makes the edges look not quite so "stretched".
There is also something called the "vedutismo" or "panini" projection, which was used a lot by renaissance painters. this can show a very large FOV but it keeps lines straight if they go to a vanishing point. you can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlK075yE6g4 or on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/groups/vedutismo/
