With anti flicker does it require a particular shooting mode? Does it operate for single shutter or only continuous?

From the EOS R advanced users guide,

Reducing Flicker
If you shoot an image with a fast shutter speed under a light source such as fluorescent light, the blinking of the light source causes flicker and the image may be vertically unevenly exposed. If continuous shooting is used under these conditions, uneven exposures or colors across the images may result. This feature enables the camera to detect the flickering frequency and take pictures when exposure and colors are less affected by flickering.

Hi. Thanks for the information from the manual. The problem is that it's never been so clear to me if it works for single shot, low speed, high speed continuous.

Yes.

It can only defect 120Hz and 100Hz (2x American and rest of the world AC mains frequencies) and will delay the shutter release until the lighting is as even as possible during the exposure, so you will get uneven timing intervals in continuous, a slight delay in single shot and possibly different colour balances between shots in a sequence. But at least the brightness will be as consistent as the camera can make it.

Ah thank you for the explanation that makes a lot more sense.
