I have owned this camera since June 7. Frustration after frustration have followed until I had to reset the camera settings to default and start again. I read suggestions from various experts to little or no avail. Some of the settings don't work. Like the magnified view. Now the camera takes photos by itself without touching the shutter or just pressing it halfway! Lately the camera won't keep taking photos and will freeze and a blue light comes on. I have to turn it off then on before it will focus and let me take a photo. Absolutely crazy camera and totally user unfriendly. To add insult to injury I bought an NEX7 on the same day and that one is also bizarre but tameable. Not the OMD! A lunatic of a camera for sure. Olympus should copy how Canon set up their cameras.

Whatever problem you are experienced, I am pretty sure it's your or a batch of these they are having problems.

I bought my E-M5 when it first came out to replace my G3.  The camera was so excellent I recommend it to my 2 brothers.  The both enjoy the camera so much and experience no issues.

FYI, My was purchased in the US, the other 2 was one purchase in Canada, and 1 in HK.
