Panasonic DMC-G7 Live HDMI output resolution

The HDMI "LIVE" ouput seems to be fixed at 1080P60FPS.  I need it at 1080I.  Without connecting the camera to a monitor, you can change the HDMI Output (PLAY) setting in the menu to 1080I...but that does not change the actual 1080P60FPS HDMI output resolution when the camera is connected to the video monitor.  The HDMI Output (PLAY) option is "greyed out" so I cannot make any changes.

Can anyone advise me if this output resolution is fixed and not changeable in the G7?

Thanks for any help...

We are talking about the Setup (wrench) menu, page 3, TV connection sub-menu.

I can change it. I have VIERA Link Off, but I don't think this affects anything.

I cannot figure out why the option would be greyed out, unless perhaps if you are in service mode and have enabled certain recording modes that way.

I assume that you tried this with no HDMI or other cables connected to the camera?

Thanks for the reply.....Yes the wrench in Menu option...TV Output....the HDMI (PLAY) settings only seem to apply to the playback output and not the actual HDMI "LIVE" output resolution.  Making a change in that output resolution does not affect the actual 1080P60FPS output at the HDMI connection into a connect TV monitor.  And I have no idea where I can go to get the answer to this question directly from Panasonic!!!  Their website offers no SUPPORT area I can get a direct answer.  Hoping you might offer suggestions...

Many thanks...
