GX7 anomalous behavior

After a long period without using my camera, I picked it to record an outing with my grandson. To my surprise both the viewfinder and the screen were displaying a 3:2 image.

I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to restore my preferred 4:3 aspect (I prefer to do any cropping on the jpg displayed by Photos or at print time). The little icon on the screen was certainly displaying 4:3 but nevertheless the view was 3:2.

Well, to make short a long story, the solution I found accidentally was to switch to Manual Focus, adjust the aspect ratio to 4:3 and . .. voila, things back to normal.

Then I recalled that in the last usage I had been experimenting with manual focus and to have a fuller view had changed to 3:2 aspect.

Maybe this post can help someone hitting this strange behavior.
