Hi,

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/
