Can you hear a difference when zooming in from 40 to 150mm? Do you have other telephoto lenses to try this? Sounds like the image stabilization system of your GX8 might be defective.

Yes I do have others and will do some double checks in good daylight with them.

Last night I wondered if our flickering LED lights had anything to do with it, but today the gx8 with the Olympus 40-150 pro once more after being fine for the first 4 or 5 shots, slowed and started clonking away again. Plus the images go soft.

Even with my Panasonic lenses the images are softer when the stabilisation is switched on!

Is no one else having this problem?
