This type of distortion is part of all wide angle lens and is not the fault
of the Zuiko. It occurs whenever your camera is not perfectly level. It is
called "keystone" and happens whenever you take a picture of a tall building
and angle the camera upward to take in the whole building. The corners and
edges get distorted in the same manner.
