Read the user manual that came with your camera about "White Balance".
Within the menu system of your camera are settings for different types of lighting and how the camera captures tones and hues for different lighting conditions. It's call White Balance. That camera has settings in the menu for: Auto, Direct Sun, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent Warm and Cool. Changing the settings changes the tone/colors that are captured.
Read up on that and you'll see what I'm talking about. Many times people accidentally set it off of "auto" which can cause most pics to look off-colored. Sometimes depending on the lighting, you need to use a different setting other than auto. The manual will explain more.
