Hello! First time poster on this forum, long time reader.
I've recently bought a USA GX85, but I would like it to record video at 25fps because I live in PAL land. I've seen the posts earlier on this forum, but have yet to find a link to how to do this rather than the PAL to NTSC change. Has anyone had any success doing an NTSC to PAL change?
So: getting into the service mode is possible, slightly different than you describe. I found the service manual online and followed the instructions:
. Power off, P mode
. Holding Playback, Right-arrow, AE/AF Lock and power on
. Enter playback mode, hold Up-arrow and AE/AF Lock and power off
Powered back on, your combination of Set, Right-arrow and power off provides the Initial Settings screen (also described in the service manual).
But here, I see only GX85 as an option. I can toggle [Strict] on and off with Disp. button, and with it off I can press Right-arrow which takes me to a confirmation screen. But all this does is allow me to re-initialise as an NTSC GX85.
I do see that the service manual allows this to be changed only once (when repairing the camera), but was wondering if anyone had found a simple way around this...?
Thanks!
