If your shooting video indoors, that is perfectly normal if your shooting under LED or florescent lights.

Depending where you live in the world, electrical current runs at 50 or 60 cycles per second. When you shoot in slow motion you are picking up those on and off cycles. It's too fast for the human eye to pick that up but the camera does.

LED & florescent lights respond very quickly to the voltage drop, incandescent lights don't as much because the filament doesn't cool down quickly.
