How to set a low shutter speed limit on GX7 using auto ISO?

Hi! I'm an owner of two OM-D E-M1s with battery grips, two E-PM2s and one E-PL5 (it's a matter of another topic why so many cameras). Today I bought a GX7 because I desperately need something to speed up my autofocusing with my 45mm f1.8, 75mm f1.8 and 35-100 f2.8 in dim light. I was just about to buy the Panasonic 42.5mm f1.2 but then I tested it on the GX7 as well as on my E-PL5 and found that the former is a killer in therms of AF speed.
I'm used to working with auto ISO in A mode. I set a low shutter speed limit on all of my Olympus bodies to 1/320"s (so did I also on my previous system with Nikon D3 and D3s). This method works great. The Panasonic, though, doesn't seem to allow such setting and always sticks to 1/100". This is ridiculous and tells me that Panasonic's engineers have developed this feature (as well as many others) without consulting a real photographer.
So the question is - do you know of a way to make the GX7 use a higher shutter speed than 1/100" with auto ISO?
I'm also trying to find a way to contact Panasonic for other reasons but I don't seem to find a way. Can you recommend a reliable way of contacting them?
The GX7 advanced manual seems to recommend using shutter priority and intelligent ISO. Have you tried this? I don't know why the two manufacturers should have different limit settings, though.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
