Default Please help!!! Can't focus through viewfinder on the E520
Hi all,

I have an Olympus E520 and have recently it has stopped focusing when i look through the viewfinder-- either when using the kit lens or a legacy lens. Both the autofocus and manual focus (on the legacy lenses) works through the screen, but if you then switch it to look through the viewfinder, its blurry.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I have tried two different OM lenses and three different digital lenses and it's always the same problem. I know exactly when it stopped working and nothing weird happened with camera and nothing was dropped.

Please help me fix my baby!!!

Thanks
Julie

I don't know anything about Olympus cameras but have you tried adjusting the diopter? My camera has a little dial next to the view finder to adjust this. Basically you look at something while turning the dial until it looks in focus.
