[2D] Camera movement causes flickering/jittering sprites

Hi all, I did not initially plan on having camera movement in my project. But, now that I'm trying to implement it, I'm noticing a very problematic issue.

The camera object is not a child of any object, but instead it has this code telling it to follow the player object:

     void LateUpdate()
     {
         if(lockCamera == false)
             obj_cam.gameObject.transform.position = new Vector2(this.gameObject.transform.position.x, this.gameObject.transform.position.y);
     }

So, once the player begins to move I notice most, if not all, of the sprites begin to jitter/flicker.

Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
