Re: do I have a defective E-PM2?

Do a few more tests, interesting (and I see, frustrating).
.

I very much doubt it is the cam.
.
As I understand it, JPGs are processed from the in-camera RAW (applying colour balance, sharpening exposure comp etc.) even when you don't keep the RAW.  I think that most (if not all) cams work that way? IE there's a RAW processor of sorts built into each cam ..
.
Can anyone confirm (or refute) that belief - with any authenticity?
.

Try, (say) After Shot Pro from Corel - it is free to test) as an alternative developer.

If it persists, email the images to oly and take the cam back to the retailer them to a cheap card and send it back ..

Odd that people complain a lens is not sharp enough,
and then proceed to make pics where 95% is OOF ..
