Display can be set to English. I had to download the English manual off the internet. I came with the Japanese version.

The printed manual is in Japanese but there is an English manual on line. Get it first. It's a big machine in functions not in size! The menus can be English or Japanese. I love it! Get the Olympus furry wind shield and the case. Best ken

Japanese imported Vitas do have O for confirm and X for back. You can't change that. But it's only for the main menu! If you're buying Western games, it isn't like that. I've gotten kind of used to it since the games still have O for back and X for confirm.

No it does not, the main menu options are in English, but the gameplay options, all the text, voices, skill, and parts are in Japanese.

I got a South American model by accident. Oh well, no problem as long as I have problems. As for the menus, there is a choice for Japanese in the Language list. However, all the camera buttons are marked in Roman characters like AF, etc. As for an instruction manual, I had to download an English version from the Panasonic web site. I am guessing you could download a Japanese version from there also. I like the camera a lot. It is the perfect travel companion. I will get a 3rd party flash for it as the Panasonic one is too expensive. The pop up flash is too limited (too slow and too much redeye) as I take a lot of indoor shots.

Hello, This product is a Japanese model. However, it is possible to switch the language to English. It is selling well all over the world, but everyone is able to use it without a problem. Manuals and Package are written in Japanese. I hope this information will be helpful. We hope that we can be of service to you in the future. Thank you very much. J-Made

It does differ from the manual. My Japanese friend tried to change the language but for some reason by default it only had the Japanese language option. I ended up returning it.

Thanks for your inquiry.It means, is the difference between edition and edition in Japan in Asia not the game not hardware?In the game, the difference in displayed language is divided by an area, and the design of the character may be different.Would you help it?

Thank you for question. This machine can make rice bread. But the menu is only Japanese.

The printed instruction manual is in Japanese, but an English language pdf is available online. But the menus on the camera itself are in Japanese also, and these cannot be changed to English. I contacted Panasonic representatives in both the UK and the US and confirmed this.

I was under the impression that, for whatever reason, only NTSC (or PAL, I forget - but the non-USA region) was limited to 29:59. I think the last (only) firmware released for the G5 updated the menus (in the region that is not limited to 29:59) to reflect this. Of course, I may be completely wrong, so please check further.Henk

Unfotunatley, no. You can't switch the language, its only in japanese. But the main menu is. Its easy to use, you don't have to know japanese to use it :) Just see a review of this xros loader on youtube and you will figure out how to use it easy.

I have a question, and thank you.Basically of Sony pat it, and is the same.Because you can change the languages by setting, it is the same.For a difference, made places are different.The product made in Japan is made in Japan, but the edition in Asia is foreign countries.In addition, the software which there is in down low in software and a site is different.Because use in Japan applies, the software guarantees only a thing for Japan the product made in Japan.Conversely, the Asian product made in may use the software of the Asian area and the software for Japan in applying to the software which I downloaded, but is out of a guarantee object.The main difference is such a feeling.Thank you.
