Sounds like a mechanical contact issue but I wonder if it's worthwhile to:

1) update the firmware (if not already done)

2) reset camera to the manufacturer's settings

Cheers,

No, it's the dials at fault.

The repair is to replace the top board which replaces the two dials and anything else on top such as the mode dial.

Mine was bought and warranty repaired in Australia. One E-P5 died early, the second one is OK and the repaired one seems good now.

The problem is that the dials may fail again in the future (unknown) so even I will need repairs out of warranty at some stage.

Each country has its own warranty arrangement and the "world wide warranties" do not apply to this world. They are useless.
