Also from the manual of the E-P5 it says about the autofocus that uses

Imager contrast detection system ...

and for the Pen -F it says Hi-Speed Imager AF..

I don't know the exact difference between the two but maybe this difference makes the experience about the autofocus different between the two bodies...I remember myself the fastest af with the E-P5 3 years now and i have never experienced a problem with that...it have never crossed my mind outdoors or indoors...

Now with the shift to the Pen-F it behaves much different indoors...Maybe its normal ...however because of the fact that i was used 3 years now to the focus of the P5 i should get used to the Pen-F now...

Thx guys!

Hi,

Have you received a reply from Olympus or sorted the issue?

I am finding PEN F struggling in focussing indoor with Olympus 12-50mm.

I bought a PEN-F a week ago tomorrow along with the PL12-60/2.8-4 and I've noticed that in very low light with not much contrast that the AF hunts, my EM10 did the same thing, but for me that's the only time it does, my AF keeper rate is still as good as my EM10.
