The camera still responded after doing this.

One new oddity came up while doing this. The pan function seemed to be reversed. It wanted to track AWAY from the light source. Tilt worked properly. Since this can be addressed in the rc code, I simply unplugged the servos in order to complete calibration.

Thanks Joe.

The panning issue has nothing to do with the GUI... There is a jumper on the camera for each axis to reverse them.

When you get the error message does it grab part of a frame?
