That seems like you are using electronic shutter mode. Switch to mechanical shutter mode or 1st curtain shutter mode.

The reason is flickering light source.

It was 1st curtain shutter mode by default. I will test it with mechanical mode. Thank you

As a light i use Aputure amaran 200d, it must be not so bad light

In looking at that product, it appears to be marketed more as being a video light. Though it does mention can be used for photography as well. I wasn't able to find any details though regarding frequencies that could lead to flicker. Do agree with Peter's recommendation on using different shutter speeds.

That's most likely the issue then. At such a fast shutter, this can indeed reveal issues with flickering lights.

As an experiement, reduce the shutter say down to 1/200s and see if it reduces/ellimates the issue.
