Panasonic Lumix GX7 EVF image looks like a bad 1960s B&W Sci-fi scene

I have a back up GX7 that I bought 3 years ago - basically brand new and never used or even tested. The other day I thought I'd take it out and give it a go. However when looking through the EVF - this is what greeted me!.

It's only black and white (although the photo taken on my phone shows colour banding) and as you pan round the shade and light is constantly moving, washing over various surfaces making the image appear in negative form just like an old Dr WHO episode!!. Does anyone have a clue what is happening, or has seen this before and how/if it could be fixed?. That'll teach me to check next time I buy a new camera! Thanks!
