Re: E-M5III quick question

Hello,

I recently got back into Olympus with the E-M5III as a long term Panasonic user (Gm1, Gx7, Gx80, G80, G9 and Gx9). I used to own the first E-M5 and then the E-M1.1, but I replaced those with Panasonic cameras as I usually prefer their ergonomics, and now I'd say their jpegs.

Anyway, I have a question regarding the AF target pad. Is it just me or is it extremely slow to react, laggy and not accurate, so much so that it is basically unusable?
On the Panasonic cameras, the function is just about perfect (more so on older bodies like the GX80 and G80 weirdly). And even on the Sony A7III, it's usable. Not so on the Olympus. I almost wonder if there isn't an issue with the function, but that doesn't seem very plausible as the touch screen works normally and is quick and smooth to select the focus point when shooting through the screen.

Any help would be appreciated

I do not understand what you are describing. What is it you referring to as the AF target pad? You say not accurate, how so? You say quick and smooth to select the focus point, so what's the difference?
