Olympus E-M1X Live View Autofocus Flicker Issues

Olympus E-M1X Live View Autofocus Flicker Issues This demonstrates the issues that all Olympus cameras have when autofocussing. They cannot seem to create a stable live view experience, instead you get this flickery garbage.

Strangely the flicker issues lessen when in the high res mode as the lens does not stop down. In all other modes the aperture is constantly adjusting, whereas the high res mode the aperture stays static - Why can't the rest of the modes be like that? Other brands have this issue in similar ways.

This video was entirely shot at 100fps, into a 25fps clip. 'Normal Speed' parts were sped up 400% and 'Slowed Down 4x' are at their native speed.

Not a single photo was taken during the test, the flickering is only occurring during AF operations. It is more prominent with the faster f/1.2 Pro prime, then say the 12-100mm f/4 Pro zoom, my guess is because it is stopping down more.

Now who says this flickering isn't distracting to the photographic process?
