Areas of foliage, gravel etc. causing shimmering, flickering on video?

Often when I video scenes containing areas of fine detail like foliage and gravel in sunny weather I get an unpleasant shimmering/flickering effect.


I assume that this is some kind of moire effect caused by thousands of moving pinpoints of light reflecting from the leaves etc. and not a fault in my camera/TV/editing setup.


Has anyone else experienced this effect under such circumstances and more importantly has a cure been found as it is likely to ruin many scenes shot in sunny countryside settings?


This appears on 1080p/1080i footage shot on my 3 chip Panasonic camcorder, Sony DSLR and Nikon Superzoom "Bridge" camera.
