Evan, By default, the slice tracks with the 3D center of the camera view.
If you turn off tracking, then you can rotate the camera independently of the slice. Then, with the mouse in 3-button-editing mode you can manipulate it with shift-click-and-drag actions. Height map is self-explanatory (once tracking is off...). Dynamic grid can improve performance by reducing sampling to only what is needed onscreen.
