White balance-
Auto- This is where the camera makes a best guess on a shot by shot basis. You'll find it works in many situations but its worth venturing out of it for trickier lighting.
Tungsten- This mode is usually symbolized with a little bulb and is for shooting indoors, especially under tungsten(incandescent) lighting (such as bulb lighting). It generally cools down the colours in photos.
Fluorescent- This compensates for the 'cool' light of fluorescent light and will warm up your shots.
Daylight/sunny- Not all cameras have this setting because it sets things as fairly 'normal' white balance.
Cloudy- This setting generally warms things up a touch more than 'daylight' mode.
Flash- The flash of the cameras can be quite a cool light so in flash WB mode you'll find it warms up your shots a touch.
Shadow- The light in shade is generally cooler (bluer) than shooting in direct sunlight so this mode will warm things up a little.
