Depending on your level of handiness - and your willingness to experiment, I would consider taking the hood and cutting a small slot in the bottom center of the hood to allow you to rotate the polarizer. Might take a bit of engineering but not too much. A spare hood and a dremel tool would do the trick.

I have had hoods that had this "hatch" in them in the past - I just can't think of who, although Pentax comes to mind with some of their larger hoods.

Thanks. Sounds like a cool idea. If I can get a spare hood I'll give it a try. I just noticed that JJC make some after market hoods with a sliding window as you describe (example). They don't seem to produce something like that for Panasonic, but I need to search more.
