Yesterday I was in Liverpool doing a photowalk. 12-40mm f2.8 attached to the E-M1. Everything was working fine, I'd taken a 50-60 photographs all using Auto-Focus. When i stopped for a break I put the E-M1 back in my back. On resuming, the E-M1 was in Manual Focus mode and I could not get it to switch to Auto. I tried removing the lens, removing both batteries, doing a complete reset but the E-M1 wouldn't come out of Manual Focus. Not wanting to ruin the day I continued to shoot in manual for some time. About half an hour later I switched the lens to the 40-150 for some close-ups and was immediately able to use Auto-Focus. Switching back to the 12-40 and I was back in Manual. Couldn't get AF to work. I continued with the 40-150 for another hour and then tried the 12-40 again. AF worked straight away without any problems.
Anyone else had this problem and have you been able to solve it?
I should say I had this same problem about a week after I got the M1 and 12-40 but I put it down to something I had down att as a while later the AF started working again. At the time I didn't have the 40-150 to try changing lenses.
I've had the M1 since may last year so I'm more familiar with it now.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
