GH4 audio socket issue

Hi - am checking in to see if anyone has had any audio issue with their GH4 mic socket. I discovered that when you completely insert an external mic plug to its port, it somehow turns off the "special mic" menu option in the set up menu. However, if you carefully leave a bit of the mic plug out (tweaking needed), it will illuminate the special mic option, which allows you to use this menu. Appreciate your thoughts on this.

Keep in mind that the GH4's mic input is designed for some specific Panasonic Mics, which have a TTRS plug (4 metal contacts) instead of a regular TRS plus (standard stereo headphone connector with 3 metal contacts. You can get TRS to TTRS adapters at B&H, etc.
