Is there a light setting for differnet kinds of lights?

I am shooting small (jewelry) in "open shade" on white typing paper. When I upload the images the background is coming out blue. Is there a light setting that would correct this and still be on Auto Mode? (not too complicated please) What would be the best way to correct this problem? I don't remember the photos in the past being so blue white on the background. Help Please?

You best bet it is to switch your White Balance. Without getting to in-depth you are getting blue pictues because even though you are inside you are getting sun light which as a blueish color temp. In your menu there is a White Balance selection feature the two options i would try setting the camera to you be 'Shade' or 'Evening Sun' you might need to add a bit of light to these but let me know how it works.

The best way would be to do your own custom white balancing which is what we will try if this does not get your desired results.
