Lumix G7 NTSC to PAL?

Hey guys,

i have an issue i have not found an answer to yet. I changed my lumix g7 from PAL to NTSC with one known trick. Just did it so i could record 60p. Now i have to switch it back to NTSC for 50p but I could not figure out how to do it or if it was even possible.

I hope some of you would know the answer to this. I would be really thankful

Re: Lumix G7 NTSC to PAL?

It is possible.

I had trouble doing it in the past with my G7, but when I tried again, I was able to do it.

To do it:

  • Power off the camera
  • Set mode dial to P
  • Power on the camera
  • While pressing [ MENU/SET] and "[ RIGHT ] of cursor buttons" simultaneously, turn the Power off. The "INITIAL SETTINGS" menu should be displayed.
  • Press "[ RIGHT ] of cursor buttons"
  • Press [ RIGHT ] again.
  • Turn on the camera. All settings are reset, but the camera should now operate in PAL mode.

This is the instruction in one video that I used.

I hope this helps.

This is the one. Funnily it did not work when I tried to open as embedded. Instead, when I open it on YouTube, it works fine (I think this video is not available on direct search. It is not "public").

Not really, maybe it is "unlisted" (so, public but doesn't appear in search results, you need a direct link).

The 3 options are Public, Private and Unlisted.

Embedding is a different issue.

"Allow Embedding" is an advanced setting that causes the video to not display in the DPR web page.
