Camera angles during a battle...

[Lightning Hunter]

I've been playing all the way through FFVII for the first time (I only ever got to the Gold Saucer during my first playthrough). Everything about the game is incredibly easy, except for one VERY annoying problem... Every now and then, the camera will show your characters at a side view during a battle. The problem with this is, I can't for the life of me tell which character I am casting spells on! If someone dies and I'm trying to use life on them for example, I will accidentally cast it on someone else, because I can't freakin' tell who the arrow is on. The character on the end will block the view of everyone else due to the bad camera angle. Is there a way to rotate the camera during battle at all, or a better way to tell who the stinking cursor is on? Argh... I just now used a remedy on the wrong character twice. It doesn't help that they change the keypad orientation for different angles.
