Continuous lighting isn't really continuous. Because it is run off alternating current, it goes dim and bright 60 times a second. Similarly, the LCD display is not continuous, but like any video is a stream of still pics changed at maybe 30 times a second (the actual shutter speed used is faster than 1/30 second). At shutter speeds faster than the 1/60 second cycle of the alternating current, the video captures both dim and bright ends of the cycle, hence the flicker. So long as the shutter speed is 1/60 or longer the camera will capture the full light cycle. I don't know if there is any way to control the shutter speed used in the video display, other than maybe via the ISO. Selecting the lowest ISO may )or may not) force longer shutter speeds used in the video LCD display.
