GH2 A weird problem with my GH2

[Eric Persson]

Hi

I'm having a very weird problem with my GH2.
All of the buttons around the "MENU/SET-button" (ISO, WB, Fn2,Fn3) all just goes to the digital-zoom-manual-focus-assist-function, which means that I have no way of changing my white balace and get to the funtions saved to Fn2 and Fn3.
When I press the Q.MENU-button it goes to ISO-selection.
It's been like this from the start and it just seems very strange.

Any suggestions?
How do I get the ISO, White Balance and Fn2,3-buttons to do whats they're suposed to?

It's hacked but I dont think it's the reason for this.
It's hopefully just some weird setting in the camera but I can't figure it out and it's driving me crazy.

Unfortunately, it sounds like a weird electrical issue to me; can't think of a logical menu setting that would swap the buttons like that. You say it's happened since it was new, but how old is it? I would definitely upload the stock firmware and get on the phone with Panasonic.

I managed to fix it now.
I remebered that my GH2 was displayed in the store where I bought it as a sample that everybody could use.
Someone must have messed with the settings and the store forgot to restore it, which I just did myself. Everything is as it should be now. Easy enough. Thanks anyways!

What you may be seeing is actually a menu settings called "Direct Focus Area". I had it switched on once and was frustrated for a bit. Kind of a dumb feature if you ask me, as it renders those buttons useless for pulling up menu items, especially when you have a touch screen.
