    Your camera's color balance is set to "daylight." For tungsten
    lighting, setting the balance to "tungsten" will get rid of the
    yellow cast.

    Or, use the fluorescent lighting while setting the camera's color
    balance to "fluorescent." That will lose the blue cast.

    Which is because your camera's color balance is set to "daylight."
    You could also set the balance to "auto" which should take care of
    the problem in practically any light. You'll find the settings in
    your camera's menu functions. Just check in your owner's manual
    under "color balance" or "white balance."
