That's one thing about Aino's camera. It is very much a point-and-shoot camera. There are no manual white balance controls as far as I can see. I guess because it's solely a touch interface they must have tried to keep it simple because there just aren't too many options there.
You have your scene modes, the ability to choose autofocus, infinite, macro and so on, flash on/off, timer,size and geo-tagging. It doesn't really bother me, but I can see it being a problem for the more serious mobile phone photographer, although I think that's an oxymoron.

I have my K850 set to "cloudy" and get nice snapshots. I expect the same on Aino.

You'll have trouble with that.

Yeah I'll take some photos later.
I'm just saying there is no 'cloudy' setting or anything really similar. My main point being that the features on Aino's camera are pretty slim.

no white balance settings? not good. even a non cyber-shot could handle this. oh well.

They might be there, but they're well hidden if they are. I might have to RTFM to find out.
EDIT: No mention in the manual. Not too worried about this myself.

i see. i don't think i'd want an aino then. the camera is very important for me and not having such settings is a let down when it comes to take pics for me.

Yeah, of course. Good to get warning of this out early then I guess. I think the touch interface made SE simplify it maybe too much. I don't see why they don't let you have the phone open in camera mode... They could have used the d-pad for white balance then.

that'd be to control the EV values rather than the WB.
