Intercepting Final for Visual Runway 24 at BDL; leveling at 2100 MSL; APP armed with localizer capture aircraft seemed to capture G/S as aircraft began descending received Caution and EICAS 'Autopilot' message; GS on PFD had amber line through it; PF (Pilot Flying) disconnected A/P recaptured G/S manually by adding power to shallow descent; (we were half dot low and descending) Amber bar disappeared from G/S roll mode; EICAS Autopilot message extinguished; PM (Pilot Monitoring) re-engaged A/P; all 3 A/P's engaged and Autoland Status showed LAND 3; Approach continued without further incident. Possible 5G interference.
Air carrier Captain reported that after glide slope capture an EICAS autopilot message appeared and the glide slope display indicated loss of capture as the aircraft continued to descend. The Pilot Flying disconnected the autopilot and manually recaptured the glide slope to continue the approach.
