I don't know about that. Our initial tests (just playing around with it) seemed to indicate that there was effectively no dead zone. We set ours to 15. We also used the look table, but as seen in the camera code thread, make sure that it's
Code:
rom const unsigned char lookTable[XXX] = {x, y, z};
and not this:

Code:
 unsigned char lookTable[255];
Ooops. That story didn't end well.
