GH5 Panasoni S1 Buyer Beware

So I just got my S1 and realized that its not a world camera in the US its NTSC only.
I didn't check before because I don't remember seeing any professional PAL or NTSC only versions in years.
I have to send it back to BH and somehow find a PAL version. Panasonic customer service has been pretty useless.
I need a PAL version for an upcoming project.

If anyone has any ideas please do tell.

To panasonic I have to say- that is really stupid.
 
Oh, weird - I wonder why they did this. I'm sure the S1H will be different but that is just an odd omission. Maybe the firmware update will address this?
 
So it looks like only the US version is “crippled” the European version is 50/60 switchable. I’m returning mine to BH and getting one fro the UK. again really stupid of Panasonic.
