GX7 viewfinder & monitor stuck in 16:9 format

When framing a photo, no matter which Aspect Ratio has bee set, is seen using all the available area. When reviewing the photo the selected format is seen.

Any idea to solve this problem?.

Unless you have a defective unit, GX7, indeed the same for GX85, should be GX9 as well, should have black borders in evf/LCD when non 16:9 aspect ratio been used.

Thanks, but I already new this and, more pragmatically, had experienced the right (and manual described) behavior.

Lately I have been changing a lot of the settings so my initial suspicion is some of the changes; after all I have not noticed any other misbehavior. But of course I cannot discard a physical failure. So I am resorting to the accumulated experience of the people on this forum.
