How can one stop the flickering of the EV1 EVF?

M<any have complained about flickering and some have sent their EV1's back because of this which is serious to me.

 

Any way to stop the flickering in the EV1's EVF?

Not seen it flicker - what exactly is the scenario?

I see the EVF slow down in low light but not flickering or banding some are saying. As a guess I would say maybe they are using electric shutter and seeing the effects from LED lighting?

Setting Exposure preview to Shutter Button Half-Pressed did it recently for me. No more banding nor flickering since then, don't ask me why.

After having the same problem again yesterday at noon and even being able to reproduce it relatively well.
In my case, this always happens when shooting with backlighting and strong light-dark contrasts, e.g. 50% dark building, the other 50% shot against the sun (from inside a building through a door/window to the outside).
If the distribution is not so even, 20% dark/light, the other 80% the opposite, this does not occur. 
For the record, the exposure metering was set to ‘Highlight-Weighted’.
