D-Lux 6 G Star and shutter speed

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and I'm having a problem with a D-Lux 6 G Star:
In manual mode, I can't set the shutter speed.
I can't understand if it's a wheel problem or some setting.
Is someone kind enough to help me out?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome Roberto,

Be aware that Panasonic-based bodies have a control wheel near the thumb hold which is multi-functional. The options show up briefly on the display. This is not intuitive until you read about it in the instructions,  which I hope you have  If not, you can access them on the Leica site. Well worth reading and digesting.

Thanks for the reply.
I have read the Leica manual several times, but the wheel to change the shutter speed does not seem to work.

Even if you depress it to change function? Are you sure you have selected the correct exposure mode?

A very strange thing happened ...
Yesterday I blew some air into the wheel housing with a blower, but it didn't work.
This morning I went to the store to show the malfunction of the wheel.
You won't believe it, but it worked.
Who knows what happened?
Yet I did not invent the malfunction.
And last night it didn't work and I didn't change any settings.
