Hello - recently noticed that this information was recorded when shooting with 4/3 or m4/3 lenses. Looks very helpful (at least for a beginner like me), especially when trying to understand when things are not in focus and where the AF "struck" - the problem is that in many instances, I feel the information is completely wrong - made two shots of a building on the other side of a beach with the 300mm for instance, and got 126 meters in one case (about right), 65 in the other (much too low). Does it mean those measurements are a bit random ? Or am I missing something completely ? Is there any way to correct this ?

Humf.
I can't see the Olympus:focusdistance Tag in any of my E-P2 photos using Olympus Master or ExifTool?????
Am I blind or doing something silly? I too would think this a rather helpful measurement from time to time.

You are right, it doesn't appear in Master, but it does show up in Lightroom ?

I can't see anything in Lightroom. Only thing in distance-measurement terms is focal length...
