Help - New GX7 - faulty EVF and LCD??

Hi All,

I just brought a GX7 today. I think it may be faulty but as this is my first mirror-less camera (DSLR D7000 user) I'm not sure of the nuances of this technology.

This is what is happening. When I am in the menus on the GX7 for an extended period (say over 30 seconds to a minute) when I come out of the menus to take a photo my EVF and LCD are black. The screen and the EVF slowly comes to life is purple for a while and then eventually the image is correctly displayed.

I have attached a picture of the LCD screen.

Is this normal for mirror-less cameras or is mine faulty? I have had a hunt around the internet and am familiar with the DP forums but can't find anything.

Thanks for any help you can give.
