simple. just add a camera (not the FPS camera) to your sphere and then process user input to move the sphere

just as JP said it has been explained many times before, also it's also good if you do the tutorials

When the player moves, calculate the offset (vector3df offset = newPosition - oldPosition). Then, add that offset to the camera position (camera->setPosition( camera->getPosition() + offset ); ).
