60 E F S G White balance When the brightness and nature (source) of the light changes, our eyes adapt to the difference so that the white object remains white. Digital still cameras, also see a white object as white by averaging the light around the subject.

You may specify the white balance when capturing images under specific lighting conditions (Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Sunset, Tungsten and Fluorescent). [Auto]: automatically adjusts the white balance. [ Daylight]: for recording outdoors on a bright day. [ Cloudy]: for recording on an overcast day in shade, at twilight. [ Sunset]: for recording at sunset.
