Sounds like an internal problem to me. If this is only happening in the TV mode then it could be that the camera is showing its age and starting to slowly malfunction. The G5 is a great camera but is now around ten years old. If all the other modes are fine then perhaps you should continue to use it but personally I'd get another camera because you may be shooting something important with it and it will decide to completely mess up the images.Hope this helps.
