S90 can't focus well at infinity

My S90 worked flawless till 2 months ago when it started to have focus problems.

I found out the following:

To exclude camera AF problems I deceided to test with Manual focus.

Main problem is infinity focusing. Close ranges seems to work fine.

When focusing anything from 3 meter till infinity I will see in focus subject till 3 meters or so and after that it gets blurry; blurriest at long distances.

Manual focus at 3 meters should already be infinity focusing according to the DOF calculator. In fact when I do that the subject at 5 meter is really blurred.

This is not always the case but a lot of the times

My guess is a problem with the lens unit. What do you think? Could it be firmware related?
