Help with Lumix G9

For anyone familiar with the Lumix G9, I'm having a problem with the Automatic viewfinder/monitor switching. When I press the LVF button it should rotate 1. automatic viewfinder/monitor switching, 2. Viewfinder display only, 3. Monitor display only. But I can only get viewfinder display and monitor display - it won't go to switching. I'm hoping I have just accidentally hit something in the menu - but I can't find anything. Sorry I know this is a boring problem - but if anyone knows where to go in the menu to fix this please let me know. THANKS

With a can of pressurized air, blow out the little hole below the viewfinder. A build up of dust etc.can impede its ability to let you switch.

Thank you Jederick! I have never had this issue with my G9 but now I know how to fix it if it ever happens to me. This type of advice is what makes UGLYHEDGEHOG so great.

It’s also affected by a menu setting — just scroll until you find it, likely in the “wrench” menu.

The duster worked in this situation, it was pretty disgusting what a large chunk of dirt came out of there, (how embarrassing). But I will look on the "wrench" area and try to familiarize myself with those settings for future issues. Thank you so much for your time!!
