Last weekend I took some pictures at a family gathering using my E-PL6 and Panny 12-32. When I got home and reviewed them, they were all out of focus. I used A mode all day. I tested the camera and autofocus worked in all the auto and scene modes, but not S, A, and M.
I dived into the menu looking for a reset, but didn't find it. I began checking all the button assignments. You can change button function on the Fn, Movie, 4 wheel points and L-Fn. What the heck is L-Fn? It is not on my camera. Options for it are:
The L-Fn button comes on the 12-50mm and the f/2.8 Pro zooms. The button's default is AF-Stop and unless you were using one of those lenses and pressed the L-Fn button it would have no effect on your camera. Some things you might look for
- When you're in S, A, or M mode does the information on the LCD in the lower left say you are in MF? Does it show you are in one of the four MySets? If it's a MySet, it will tell you which one and you will also see the MF indicator if a MySet is causing it.
- If you are in a MySet or the camera is in MF, go to Custom Menu B, Button and Dial Menu, check the button assignments to se if one has MF assigned and then check the Mode Dial settings to see what is assigned to P, A, S, M.
- If the EPL-6 is not in MF and or a MySet, you should get the AF confirmation in the LCD when you pressed half-way down on the shutter-release and focus?
- You may want to remount the 12-32mm and see if the problem goes away, if not, then try another lens to see if it's the EPL-6 or the 12-32 that may have a problem.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
The Sony ZV-E1 is a full frame camera targeting YouTubers. Chris and Jordan are Youtubers, what do they think?
