EOS R - Flickering when shooting with artificial lights

[josef264]

Hey guys, I recently purchased a Canon EOS R and I'm experiencing something I've never seen before.

I shoot in low light photography and I use a lot of lighting for my work including artificial lights (street lighting), led, projectors etc.

I'm having a lot of flickering with bands all over my shots. This happens both with silent mode on and off and the anti flickering mode on and off.

I also adjusted the shutter speed to 1/50 and 1/60 to see if it would fix it but it doesn't.

I had Sony a7, Canon EOS 5d mk1 and mk2, a Fujifilm X-T20 and I never had this issue either in silent mode or not. I'm very unprepared to this and it's turning out to be quite a deal breaker for me and my work using this camera.

Every 10 shots I get maybe 1 clean. Is this expected? Anything that I'm missing to fix this?

In my experience, even with Anti-Flicker on, if you shoot using electronic shutter I still get flickering. My solution is to switch to mechanical or curtain first.
