There is on fix !.!.!. what you have to do is adjust your cameras viewfinder diopter!. Then you have to use the viewfinder to help you focus the lens!. Very traditional, very basic!.

Once you have adjusted the diopter, you will see the image in focus using manual focus or auto!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not too familiar with Olympus cameras, but I do know that the Canons have a little wheel close to the view finder to adjust the focus for the eyes (does not effect how the picture will come out)!.!.!. it's mainly used so people who wear glasses don't need to when using the view finder!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I know this is probably a dumb question on my part, but when you look through the viewfinder are you pressing the shutter button half way down to get the camera to autofocus !? If not you need to or it will never focus!. If you already are pardom my asking this and see fhotoace's answer

If you want a more traditional focusing prism for manual focus you should look at the katzeyes

If your camera has a diopter, it is not adjusted for your eyes!. If you do not have one, I hate to say this, but it might be time for an appointment with an optometrist!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

There's a little knob on the side of the viewfinder!.

Look through as you twiddle it to sharpen your view!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
