Example

Okay, so I went back twice to try to reproduce this. The first time the Sun went in while I was travelling there and I didn't have any issues. Today the Sun was out (although not at quite the angle it was originally) and I could make it happen sometimes.

Here's my first failure, note I had an AF confirmation beep. I was using a single small centre AF point and AF-S. The AF point it at the lowest part of the centre of the arch. (Sorry it's not level or well framed, I was trying to make it happen by moving me, the zoom and the framing.)

I've seen this on my GH4 with a different lens from time-to-time, this was the first time I've seen it on my GH5.

All images SooC JPEGs.

Later I manged a sequence of images as follows, all had an AF confirmation... Here the AF point includes the underside edge of the centre/top of the arch (although the GH4/5 AF points have historically been known to stray outside their designated boxes anyway)...

Note my objection is not that it couldn't focus but:
(1) It said it had
(2) It then stayed with the unfocused image for a number of further AF attempts (historically I've only been able to recover by aiming at something at a considerably different distance so this was a little different, but maybe I gave up before 5 attempts previously).
