PowerShot G7 X Mark III Flickering exposure problem

I recently bought the Canon G7x iii camera which I intend to use for youtube but I have problems with flickering exposure, even when I lock the exposure. I start filming, lock the exposure, and when I look at the footage after it flickers several times per minute, changing the exposure from one frame to the next. Super annoying. Do you have a solution for this? I'm in Europe and camera is set to PAL. I shoot in 1/50 and 25 fps, and I use a ring light.

Does anybody have a solution for these issues?

Try a different type of lighting. If your lighting is cycling on and off as some LED and fluorescent lighting does, it might cause your flickering.

This is not it. Two reasons: 1) I've tried different lighting, same thing. 2) The flickering happens two or three times per minute. It's not consistent.

Is this how you are locking exposure?

Yes

Does it happen in sunlight? That is pretty consistent. 8^)

Yes, in sunlight also.
