Changing the brightness don't change very much this and changing contrast don't make any difference.

Open v4l2ucp 3. Change brightness and contrast values Actual results: The image continues very dark. Expected results: The image becomes brighter. Additional info: See bug 478915 to any additional information about the webcam.
This is not a libv4l issue, but rather a driver issue. Please mail: Jean-Francois Moine <moinejf> (who is the upstream gspca maintainer) about this, he is the one who can help you the best. Feel free to add me to the CC. Closing this as being handled upstream, as there is not much we can do at the Fedora side here.
