maybe you are just unlucky with your unit, assuming is not a configuration problem, maybe you can try to repair or exchange

I had a GX8 for some years that I loved, (G6 and G3 before it) in the menwhile upgraded to G9 (fantastic camera by the way), just miss the tiltable viewfinder of GX8, maybe one day we will see a GX10 or GXX so I can upgrade back to that camera format

but I also purchased already after trading to the G9 other 2 GX8, one for my son and other for my wife, as I loved the camera so much and could be found at incredible price on Pre Christmas sales.

None of the 3 had the issue you described.

I own two GX 8s, one was mint used and the other a super saver buy on a new one. It is a highly under rated camera for its value and pricing even on the used market. And it really is the top of the GX series as the GX 9 was of a different species apparently.

I am pleased to have bought two of the GX 8 one of Panasonic's finest achievements.

At the time, the world- correction DPR reviewer ( who titled the article THE Big BEAST- ) did not give it the accolades it deserved. it did not take long for user to discover its merits.

It gets the distinguished service cross award of merit bit late, granted that, -- but not posthumously,

if you catch my metaphorical drift and I know you do. Aloha
