Hey JakejY,

I have tried this a lot, with only failed attempts. It does not work in my case.
Is there any other way?

There is another EOSHD thread at comments/topic/19932-get-30p60p-on-your-pal-panasonic-cameras/ that mention the following after procedure not working on GX80:

"Make sure the camera is in P mode when you power it on. Then follow the guy's instructions but make sure to press the display button on the selection screen that appears so that "[STRICT]" disappears."

Also did you follow the instruction exactly here (it should be same as second half of video)?

Thank you JakejY

Unfortunetly there is no STRICT message anywhere in the process.

Following the procedure, now it shows the exclamation mark on powering off, but doing the rest of the procedure to revert to Pal, does nothing to the framerate, it only does a master reset, asking for time, time zone and language.

Did anyone try to send the camera to Panasonic? Could they reinstall the software?
