-downDistance(-d) linear create
Set the amount of down pan distance in inches
-leftDistance(-l) linear create
Set the amount of left pan distance in inches
-relative(-rel) create
This flag modifies the behavior of the distance and zoomRatio flags. If specified, the distance or zoomRatio value is used multiply the camera's existing value. By default the relative flag is always on.

Set the amount of right pan distance in inches
-upDistance(-u) linear create
Set the amount of up pan distance in inches
-zoomRatio(-z) float create
Set the amount of zoom ratio
