Re: E-P5 focusing issue - back from Olympus Servicing

Well, the camera arrived today from Olympus service.  Put in a battery, sd card and mounted a lens -- it still doesn't auto focus.  The green dot lights up and there is a beep indicating that focus has been found, but the view is still fuzzy.  Put on the viewfinder just to be sure and when half pressing the shutter button, you can see the lens go right past the focus and indicate that it is in focus when it is NOT in focus.

Called Olympus service and they sent me an email that arranged for UPS to package up the camera and return it for servicing and no charge to me.  The original service cost was $131.70 with a six month guarantee, so at least Olympus is doing the right thing and paying for shipping it back to them for another go at fixing the problem.

I'll report back when the camera returns from its second round of servicing.
