we were at this indoor park and the lights were this weird tungsten and warm at the same time. we filmed with the lights off with different sections lit up and it looked fine. as soon as the lights came on i would adjust my settings, and then depending on which way i pointed the camera, the colors were changing from normal to red. weird. please help. im going to another indoor park tonight, but i don't know what kind of lights they are. is it my camera? or the lights? or i dont know. thanks. is it just the lights fucking with my ccds or something.

Looks like you were using auto-track white.

If they had really cheap fluorescent lights in there, this can happen at some shutter speeds.

So it doesn't have anything to do with synchro scan'

Yes it might have something to do with synchro scan; if you're using a high shutter speed under cheap fluorescent lights you can get a color-cycling effect that looks somewhat like automatic tracking white balance.
