How are you positioning the '+' character? I assume you are trying to create a crosshair. What I would do is, have a crosshair image and use this formula to center it on screen.

crosshairX = (Screenwidth - crosshairImageWidth)/2
crosshairY = (Screenheight - crosshairImageHeight)/2

The camera should have no effect on the crosshair at all.
