Setting the White Balance
The color of the subject changes with the light source. For example, the same white object will be a different shade of white in daylight than under a light bulb. In cameras using film, this is adjusted by changing the film or using filters. In digital cameras, the whiteness is adjusted using white balance.
The default setting is 
(Auto).
