Camera Pan Angle Problem

I zero'd out our camera servos by setting them to the default pan and tilt PWM values as per Kevin's default cam code, then built the camera around them. The code says that the camera should pan within about a 130 degree angle (+/- 65 from center), though ours goes only about 80 (+/- 40).

It's really disadvantageous as the camera loses the light very easily off to the sides with this small range. We'd really like to see it get the full range of motion. Any ideas?
