[cpia] CPiA 0.7.2 & Zoomtel camera: Colour balance strangene

[Dirk Lison]

I'm having color problems with my Ezonics EZCams too even in bright light. But only using gqcam.
Using vidcat from the w3cam package results always in correct colors but the pics are very dark in
low light conditions. Hope this helps.
