It's normal for quite a few brands of electronic flashes. Electronic flashes tend to be a bit too cool (blue) and a little warming is needed to give more pleasing results, hence the slight yellow color of the flash unit's lens.

First of all - where can I find an online manual for it? The "light emiting thing" of this particular specimen is a bit yellowish - is it normal, or will my color photos have a yellow cast?
