Awais,

I suspect you are using manual white balance (WB) on that shot. You need to set the WB to be correct for the light source. I suspect you set the camera at something close to daylight WB but there was probably an incandescent light high and to the right.

A few meters away should not be a problem but the close focus distance for the Canon EF 50mm, f1.8 is .5 meters so be careful around that distance. The camera and lens will probably work best if you use a single focus point where you want prime focus. Sometimes you may even need to manually focus for best results.

Remember too that DOF is much more shallow with a dSLR than with a digicam at the same aperture (usually.)

Ok this gradient effect don't seems to be a problem as it is occassional.
I will try to catch some photos in controled environment to check back focus. :D
