very occasionally, one might say even randomly infrequently, my e-p5 stops focusing correctly. You can see in the viewfinder that it focuses right past what is in the box, green light goes on and it makes a focusing confirmation beep, but the image in the box is not in focus. Various actions gets the focusing to work again -- switching lenses, turning off and on, re setting the lens, taking the battery out..... But none of these work all the time, nor consistently, it seems randomly fixed.

Has anyone else experienced this issue with their e-p5?

This doesn't happen very often, but when it does it is very frustrating. I'm hesitate to send it to Olympus for service as it probably won't do it when it is being service.

I also have this problem with my EP5.

Sometimes I can see that the image is way out of focus but I get the solid green dot and the camera takes the photo.

I also have it to a lessor degree with my EPL5 but not with my G5
