However, if the camera thinks the lens is out of focus, it may prevent you from taking the image. I guess this is what is happening: For some reason, the lens is not focusing properly, and therefore the camera will not letFredrik Gløcknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07523430148487818493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813055710667942720.post-54052166327442343312012-11-21T05:53:07.459+00:002012-11-21T05:53:07.459+00:00I recently purchased the Panasonic 45mm f/2.8 Asph...I recently purchased the Panasonic 45mm f/2.8 Aspherical Macro MEGA OIS Lens for Micro Four Thirds Interchangeable Lens Cameras for my Olympus EPL-3. It doesn't focus at all and the shutter button is barely responsive. I can't figure out if the lens is defective or if the lens/camera combination is incompatible. Any help or advice you can provide would be most appreciated.Heatherhttp://flowersandthemoon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813055710667942720.post-18126332131795160912012-11-08T18:38:08.523+00:002012-11-08T18:38:08.523+00:00Yes, it does.

Only black screen and error message. <br /><br />With GH2 and I could get it to "boot" by pressing the release button MMF2 (weird I know). Then the lens can just as suddenly jam and cease to funtion. Usually the O.I.S keeps making noise too. <br /><br />Is there anyone with same kind of experiences?<br />I Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813055710667942720.post-5178372285075209672011-08-16T17:42:07.477+01:002011-08-16T17:42:07.477+01:00The Olympus 50mm f/2 lens cannot autofocus on the ...The Olympus 50mm f/2 lens cannot autofocus on the GH1.

When you focus mannually if Mf Assist is turned on the camera will zoom 7-10x to help focus when the focus ring is turned. It will zoom out<br />after a few seccond or pressing the shutter half way.
