You should use servo for camera turning and use variable NV_TURRET_BALANCE in this case. But if you use just simple motor instead servo then you could use variables NV_TURRET_LEFT and NV_TURRET_RIGHT and you would use VBScript program like this:

nv_L_Motor = GetVariable("NV_L_MOTOR")
nv_R_Motor = GetVariable("NV_R_MOTOR")
nv_Turret_Left = GetVariable("NV_TURRET_LEFT")
nv_Turret_Right = GetVariable("NV_TURRET_RIGHT")


nxt_L_Motor = round(128 + (nv_L_Motor/100.0)*127)
nxt_R_Motor = round(128 + (nv_R_Motor/100.0)*127)

nxt_Turret_Motor = 128

if nv_Turret_Left <> 0 then nxt_Turret_Motor = 64
if nv_Turret_Right <> 0 then nxt_Turret_Motor = 192


SetVariable "NXT_L_MOTOR", nxt_L_Motor
SetVariable "NXT_R_MOTOR", nxt_R_Motor
SetVariable "NXT_TURRET_MOTOR", nxt_Turret_Motor

Thanks so much I finally got it working just had to make a few number changes as the head is moved by a worm gear thanks again :)

But servo would be better solution for camera turning because it participates in initial localization of "Marker mode" and "Navigation by map" modes for camera getting of state "look forwards".

But it's a nxt motor and under servos I don't see nxt so I have to use the method above right?

In dialog window of RoboRealm "Lego NXT" module there is "Servos" page. So, if you have lot of servos amounting to your NXT then it would be better to use it with camera turning.
