Got it.
I suppose you might have set Constant Preview in Menu to ON (Custom Menu, item #! on P.6/10)?
Under M, Preview becomes the Live View similar real time display mode if CP=ON. This will give a more accurate (closer to the shot to be taken) real time simulated image than Live View (LV has more restriction) but on the down side, will also show the shutter speed effect.
If a slow shutter speed be used, says around 1/2", the refresh rate of Preview will be reduced to reflect the possible stability under that shutter speed. The slower the shutter speed the more sluggish the refresh would be. Might try to shoot with 1", basically any tiny handholding instability will make operation nearly impossible under that sort of ultra slow motion display.
It is actually a common behavior for all Panasonic cameras.
When CP=OFF, G85 will enter an auto LCD grain mode and it will not reflect the shutter speed effect in evf/LCD (also at a cost of no simulation of the exposure effect under the parameters in used). We have to use the ad hoc Preview to monitor the exposure setting.
Therefore I use C mode for this. I had customized a C mode to use M and having CP=OFF. This is specially used for low lighting M mode shooting.
For video, G85 will not allow you to shoot video using slower shutter speed than 1/25". Therefore the sort of simulated image in evf/LCD refresh rate won't kick into those poor effect.
