Hi Chris and all,
As always, I'm very late with the digests, but...

Already solved, I think. However, I had an additional problem with a C-mount
to m4/3 adaptor. The GF1 seems to disconnect the sensor and/or electronic
contacts of the mount while changing lenses -- a wise way to prevent
shortcircuits. It does such by sensing the position of the locking pin -- if
it's depressed (by mounting a lens), it disconnects.
But the aforementioned adaptor had smaller slot for that locking pin; it
sort of locks OK, but the pin can't emerge completely -- unless that adaptor
is perfectly centred (it has a tiny bit of rotational play, otherwise
negigible) so the pin goes into the deepest spot of the slot, LiveView won't
work... and will show the same complain as yours.
Cheers,
