There are some tips here, go to the search function and look for a post from Epedemic with "T68i menu"
The codes I know are #*#* and ##** or vice versa...

White balance controls how the picture looks. adjusting it too much will cause the picture to look too blue or to red depending on light conditions (if you are indoors with artifical light or outdoors with natural light)

Ok, there is some confusion here:
First, about whitebalance: A camera can only see the world as it is. If you are indoors, and get the light from lightbulbs, the light is more reddish that from the sun. Therefore, pictures taken indoors are most often a bit red. However, people know how colors "should look" and want an apple to be green, a sheet of paper to be white etc. In other words, they want the colors to be as if you had taken the picture outdoors. The whitebalance tries to fix this, and tries to make all images look like as if they were taken outside. Thus the whitebalance algorithm in the T68 tries to counteracts the reddishness of the images.
The MCA-20 has a whitebalance algorithm that can be turned on or off.
By pressing *##* you get into the color boost mode. This is different from the white balance. The color boost tries to make the colors of the image more saturated, or more "colorful", the same effect as increasing "saturation" in photoshop. The color boost function only affects how the images look on the screen of the phone, not how the images look when transmitted to the PC for instance. This is easy to see by taking two images of the same object with very different color boost values --- they look totally different on the T68i, but exactly the same on the PC.
The color boost mode can be good when you want to make caller ID images on your T68, since the screen of the phone is not very strong in color saturation and can need a color boost. The good thing is that the color boost value "sticks" on the image when it is copied from the MCA-20 to the T68.
For instance, if you have made a small image on your MCA-20 that you have copied to My Pictures and you think it lacks colors, then you go back to the MCA-20 menu, enter a higher color boost value and copy it again. Now you will have something that looks more colorful.
