Speaking of EVFs, this is great, but I find that there's crazy flicker in it. How can I reduce this (no, not under fluro lighting or anything, even just outdoors in natural daylight).

I think there is something wrong with your EVF , I haven't ever heard a comment like that before. Call Red and describe the issue, they will help you.

Open gate will help remove the film like 180 degree shutter effect. If you are not used to 24 fps progressive, turning on "open gate" will help with a strobing type effect. But usually you only notice that on panning and movement. If you see unusual flicker on static frames something is probably wrong.

Norm, see if you're set to 'Synced' you may prefer 'Fixed' as the EVF option.

Red Manual:
When capturing images at normal frame rate and 23.98, 24.00 or 25.00 fps Project Frame Rates, refresh permits the operator to select the display refresh rate used by the RED-EVF.

The default mode is SYNCED. This avoids use of 2:3 pull down, and instead doubles the capture frame rate to display images at 48Hz (50Hz for 25.00 fps). The display may exhibit increased luminance flicker do to the lower frame update rate, but will not have a 2:3 stutter.

The alternative FIXED mode uses 2:3 pull down or other appropriate pull down sequences required to displays images at a fixed frequency of 59.94 Hz (or 50Hz) at all capture frame rates. This mode minimizes display flicker but may exhibit 2:3 motion stutter on 24fps images.

Note: The camera will operate in FIXED mode when the Project Frame Rate
is other than 23.98, 24.00 or 25.00, and also when in VariSpeed or Ramp.

Or could it be the same bug that affects the LCDs occasionally where the bottom third of the screen jitters until you hit 2x zoom and out again?
