White  balance
When the brightness and nature (source) of the light changes, our eyes adapt to the difference
so that a white object remains white. Digital still cameras also see a white object as white by
averaging the light around the subject.  The ViviCam 3935 determines the white balance by
averaging the various kinds of light that enters the lens. You may specify the white balance
when capturing images under specific lighting conditions (Automatic, Daylight, Cloudy, Sunset,
Tungsten and Fluorescent).
To set white balance you may press 
 /  button in the main menu or press  / button and
then the OK button to enter the sub-menu and choose the setting. After the setting is set, press
the OK button to confirm.
[Auto]: automatically adjusting the white balance
[ 
 Daylight]: for recording outdoors on a bright day
[ 
Cloudy]: recording for overcast, shaded, twilight or evening skies
[ 
 Sunset]: for recording under sunset.
[ 
 Tungsten]: for recording under tungsten lighting condition
