It's not your camera, it's the lights. Your eyes can pick up the flicker but the camera does. What type of bulbs are you using and what country are you in? Try switching to PAL 1080/50, 1080/25, and NTCS 1080/30.

Hello @johnzark67, 

We need to get more information to be able to help. Which camera model are you using? Is it updated to the latest version? Also, does the flicker always happen? How does it happen? 

Feel free to post back for any additional information. 

Thanks, 
Marius

Hero6 1080/60 new update it's ok . I bought the camera yesterday is new!

Good to know that your camera is updated to the latest firmware @johnzark67

How and when does the flickering happen? Does the flickering affect how the camera works? Also, will you be able to post a picture of the front face of your camera? 

Thanks, 
Marius

Looking at your other video, pretty cool by the way, it appears you are possibly in Greece. If this is the case, you need to go into preferences and change your camera to film in PAL and not NTSC. In daylight, you can use NTSC if you want, but the lights in your country use a different frequency than in North America and NTSC areas.
