Backup Camera Flickering?

For those of u with a 4.5GS, does the backup camera flicker? I can see a bit flickering on mine and please tell me this is normal. I really don't want to take it to the dealer and have them tear up my brand new car.

The trajectory lines flicker on mine, but the video is stable.

No, my backup camera shows no sign of flickering - it's stable.

I suspect what is likely flickering is the movable distance guidelines on the screen, not the actual image the camera is viewing.

Okay I did some more testing and I think it flickers more in low light condition, in a bright daylight it's almost non-existent. Maybe this is a normal behavior for this type of camera? I know this isn't a DSLR.

I haven't observed any flickering in mine, but will try to pay more attention and see if I notice anything. Thus far it's seemed exactly the same as it was in my 15.
