Had the same idea and I tried sending the following to the camera with intention to do it before sending the videoquality command

http://192.168.54.1/cam.cgi?mode=setsetting&type=videoformat&value=mov

was rejected.

even http://192.168.54.1/cam.cgi?mode=setsetting&type=videoformat&value=mp4

did not work, so no idea what it does,,,,maybe also my syntax is wrong?

I am very thankful for further ideas or information.

So, the test would be to get it into the MOV mode, press record on the camera, if it doesn't stop when you press record on the camera then give it this command through the browser.

http://192.168.54.1/cam.cgi?mode=camcmd&value=video_recstop

Here are my test results for the good old G6

1. send http://192.168.54.1/cam.cgi?mode=setsetting&type=videoquality&value=mov_60p_50mbps">mov_60p_50mbps

2. G6 returns ok, indicator on Screen: MOV, also in menu, same behaviour like GX7 (@JBraddock)

3. Press record button -> G6 in runaway state, no reaction on any button

4. send http://192.168.54.1/cam.cgi?mode=getinfo&type=curmenu

5. G6 returns the xml file,,,,ok camera still responding to wifi commands

6. send http://192.168.54.1/cam.cgi?mode=camcmd&value=video_recstop

7. G6 returns <result>err_reject</result>

8. G6 still in runaway state,,, have to remove battery

2nd test

1. send http://192.168.54.1/cam.cgi?mode=setsetting&type=videoquality&value=mov_60p_50mbps">mov_60p_50mbps

2. start Panasonic Image App und press record button in app

3. App returns something like "recording not possible in this mode"

4. remove battery

same behaviour for all mov modes in curmenu

Oh my god, this hack has been on my wishlist for a long time. Now my old G6 finally became a NTSC one and I will spend the rest of the day with a bottle of beer on my patio ?

thanks

Hello,

new here. Hello to all and thanks to BTM_Pix for this "hack". 

Earlier in this thread you talked about the multi button diagnostic mode. Could you please explain what it is?

Thanks....Michael
