I bought a Pocket Cinema Camera last week and a Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO Standard zoom lens (12-35 mm), which is a widely recommended MFT lens for this camera. The very first time I powered on the camera, the iris adjustment and autofocus didn't work, nor could I focus the lens manually. I turned the camera off and reattached the lens, and everything worked after that, so I assumed the lens hadn't been seated properly. Today, however, I'm having the same problem. No matter how many times I remove and reattach the lens, turning it until it clicks into place, the camera and lens aren't talking to each other: neither the iris or focus (autofocus or manual) works at all.
I'm going to take it back to the store tomorrow night to have them test a few different lenses to see if the problem is the camera or the lens, but I'm curious to see if anyone else has experienced a similar problem. I am being very sure to tighten the lens all the way until I hear it click into place, so it's definitely connected.
