    Try
    These commands
    echo value > /sys/module/gspca/parameters/gamma
    or
    echo value > /sys/module/gspca_main/parameters/gamma
    replace value with number -10 to +10 for more gamma.

    EDIT:
    I'm not sure but this trick works on my Logitech and iBall webcams.
    Never make any misteaks.
