GH3 GH3 Firmware 1.0 is Quirky Sometimes

I have noticed that the GH3 menus sometimes act a little odd ( don't always behave exactly the same way ), but I haven't spent enough time with the camera to document this buggy behavior.

The one quirk that I discovered tonight is...

- When Monitor Luminance is set to 1* ( menu 2 of the Tool tab ), and I press the GH3 menu button to display the menu, the menu displays seems to be acting as if I set the Monitor Luminance to A*. ( it will get brigher or darker depending on how much ambient light is in the room )

- But if I go to the Play menu first, and then ANY other menu, the Monitor Luminance displays super bright, which is the correct 1* setting.

- I've tried resetting the camera, but it makes no difference. This is obviously a bug, and I am sure there are many other bugs within the GH3 right now.

Its good that you adres these issues but the thing im most concerns about is the broken rear display
 
I also noticed an issue with the Custom White Balance. In the manual, it notes that if you set a custom white balance, it retains the settings when you power off the camera. IME, it doesn't always do this and reverts back to AWB. Frustrating so I always check the white balance now everytime when I turn on/off the camera.
And we already know about the display info disappearing after 10 seconds..

What do you mean broken rear display? The LCD display looks amazing on my GH3. The EVF doesn't looks pretty much the same as the GH2 to me but I rarely use the EVF for video.

I'm not sure if this occurs on every model ratlabproductions, but mine is messing up the colors at low light. I'll make a picture for you hold on
