Use Autocam Off at the start of your program and when you've positioned the sphere as Kieran said, use Point Camera with the same X,Y,Z co-ords as the sphere.

CattleRustler is right - it's just a camera positioning problem.

You have pointed the camera, but you haven't positioned it, so it's sitting at 0,0,0.

You've placed the sphere at 50,50,50 which is 50 units away from the camera.

But, your sphere has a radius of 200 units - which means that the camera is inside the sphere! (By default, in DB the inside of objects are not drawn, so the sphere seems to be invisible).
