Narrative:
While on flight (dtw-mdt) accepted clearance to 15000 ft, I, first officer, was the PF, descended through 15000 ft. I noticed it at 14700 ft and began a correction. The altitude went to 14500 ft. The altitude infraction lasted 4-5 seconds. The autoplt was turned off for the correction and re-engaged after we became level at 15000 ft. ATC did not indicate that there was any problems. Flight landed at mdt with no further problems.
