Can't view 1080 in import P2 window (FCP 5.1.2)

can't view 1080 in Import window P2 window
I'm trying to import 1080i/30p footage from a P2 card. Everything works fine, except I cannot view the footage in the import Panasonic P2 window.
It will show me 720 footage, but not the 1080.
It does show me the thunbnails and I can import fine apparently, but i would like to be able to view the footage before importing.

I'm in FCP 5.1.2

You have to change your recording settings to the format that you want to review. You most have the camera set to 720.

menu:

5. Recording setup

rec format 1080
