Subject: [Leica] Yellow Cast on Flash "shots"

Quick question:  Enjoying my R8 with the new Metz and SC 
adaptor...occasionally my "flash" pictures will have yellowish tinge.  
Using Royal print film, 400.  My local camera store owner, quite 
informed, explained it was from the tinge of the incandescent lights 
over the subject, and the flash is almost acting as fill in.  If this 
is correct, absent moving the subject- when this is not possible- can 
I correct the "problem" in any way?  Use of  filter?  Obviously, can't 
change film in mid roll.  Perhaps I just have to accept this somewhat 
bothersome cast. 

Incidentally, the 100 Apo lens is without peer...
