That turned out to be a defective camera; we tried the same lens on another MFT body and it worked fine, and tried several other MFT lenses on the Pocket all of which were unrecognized. So in your case you should go to a camera store and try a different MFT lens on it that has autofocus to see if that works (e.g., one of the Olympus lenses or the second-generation Panasonic 12-35). That can help you narrow down the problem.
Thanks, that's very useful information!
I managed to firm upgrade my lens from 1.2 to 1.3, no improvement.
So I tried with another Panny lens and 2 other Olympus.
Same : no connection with the camera whatsoever (no focus control, no aperture control.)
My reseller is talking with BMD right now, probably a faulty camera, hope they will replace it.
