I shot a promo with the camera, in Europe, 50 hz, fluorescent light give a flicker, waive. I tried every possible shutter speed, still it's present.
Alongside took shots with GH4, no problem at all, clean, strobe free at 1/50.

Anyone else experienced this issue?

Wow that's a big issue.
Were you just setting the shutter speed while previewing, or actually recording? Many Sony cameras will show strobing regardless of the shutter speed until you hit record.
 
Thank you Samuel,
its a pain.. if recording in heavy fluo lighting zones.

what I meant is flicker.. it does seem like a bug, and NX1 seem to be very sensitive, Gh4 is much better in this way. Actually its reverse, in preview mode, no strobing, flicker, upon rec, it starts..
I hope Samsung is aware, in next firmware will address this issue, in Nikons for example there is a frequency compensation 50/ 60 choice.
 
That's pretty bad. It makes the camera useless for me, for example. Thanks for reporting. Let's see if they fix it soon...
 
I shoot 24p and 60p in 50Hz land and as long as you keep 1/50s and 1/100s it never flickers. With T2i, NEX-5N, BM and now a7S.
