How to get Ex. Tele Conv info to display consistently?

When using Panny's Ex.Tele Conv feature with this lens, the added zoom range (above 175mm) is supposed to display on the monitor. This worked on my GX7, but not on my new G9. The Ex. Tele Conv is working (confirmed by EXIF data) but it's not showing up on the monitor.  The display simply shows the lens at 175mm with no indication of any additional reach (which is supposed to display).

Anyone else have this problem? Any fixes?

Thanks in advance for any information.

I can not get Ex tele to work on my G9. When I select it in the menu it says it is on but the sub menu does not appear and there is no magnification. Same for ex tele zoom.

I hate to ask, but are you sure you set the picture size to M (about 9mp depending on aspect ratio) or S?  Manual p. 186.
