Dear Khairul Samsudin - this is great, thank you so much.
Can I ask about another classic repair for the Lumix G5?
As with many lumix cameras, the rear thumbwheel on the Lumix G5 is a weak point and frequently fails - usually the “push in” movement that should change functions failes in the “pushed in” position.
Plese can you see if you can create a “fix” for this? It classically fails at about year 2-3, when the camera is out of warranty and the repairs cost from Panasonic is more than a secondhand G5 on eBay will cost!
Best wishes - Paul in the UK
