Re: LVF2

3 factors should be considered.

  1. lvf2 is only a tool to display the simulated live view image from the sensor data only. What you see might actually be a result of your setting.
  2. Similar to the evf of all other Pannys, evf and LCD has independent set of "LCD Display" setting (page 2 of Setup Menu of GX1) for the brightness, saturation and color effect. Its previous owner, might have messed up the setting.
  3. Might suggest that lvf2 is at its end of life having the display unit failure problem developed.

Bluish might be a result of the white balance of that particular scene. Might try to adjust WB to see the result.

I have checked point 2, all settings to zero did not change anything. Also read user manual with LVF2, found nothing useful there. Not checked the whole GX1 manual, but the points I think is important. Looking into LVF2 looks mainly like this macro, only more sharp and contrast a bit different and no pattern in the blue:

Seems to me it could be near the end of it's life. But after taking some images all are ok on the LCD, so it can be useful in strong light.
