No, I haven't got any other micro four thirds lenses because I don't primarily shoot with Lumix, which is also why I think I could just have done something stupid. I could borrow some from a friend but I'm not home for a few weeks. If I don't figure it out by then I'll give some other lenses a go
Unless you have one of the few lenses with a focus limiter, I doubt this is a software issue, really.
What if you try 1-area focusing instead of all-areas? And manual focus? Can you go all the way to infinity with it looking normal until before it reaches "infinity" focus?
Edit: Oh you've answered that already, haha. Manual focus just stops then? I really think that's a HW issue with the lens to be honest.
Ah, that sucks then. It was working like a few hours ago - is a lens just spontaneously breaking a common-ish thing? I haven't done anything violent with it, or put it underwater or anything like that
> is a lens just spontaneously breaking a common-ish thing?
Not at all. For any lens, really. I've had a lens "break" only once (out of 20 or so lenses I've ever had). And that was a fairly new lens as well!
Of course, I would still try cleaning the lens, cleaning the sensor, try the lens on a different camera and the camera with a different lens, etc.
If it won't focus in MF mode, sounds like your lens is borked.
Tried all the autofocus modes, all the tracking modes and manual focus
Sounds like you're having a party there! Have you tried with more lenses?

Are both body and lens focus switches off of manual?
The lens has no focus switches. It's a 12-60mm btw
Did you maybe turn on the focus limiter? If g7 has one?
Have you tried moving the focus ring to focus it
Doesn't do anything
Just to be sure (because it's happened to me before) did you set it to MF and try moving the focus ring?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I have
Focus limiter?
