I've searched a couple of PDF manuals on line, to no avail... so I thought I'd ask. Do any of the micro 4/3 cameras (or pk, or nex) have the ability to project composition grid lines into the lcd/evf?

I guess I could draw them on the lcd with a sharpie but that's not quite the solution I'd be looking for. Thanks if anyone knows the answer.

The GH1 has some pretty fancy grid-lines on it. I remember my E-P1 had something similar. Not too sure about anything else.

Thanks! I think someone swapped my coffee for decaf today. Seemed obvious the cameras should be able to do this, just couldn't put my finger on the info.

For the Lumix G1 see page 107 in the pdf manual. Panasonic call them guide lines. I use one adjusted to a rule of thirds guide.

Aha. Guide lines vs. grid lines. If only text searches weren't so literal. Thanks!

I would love to use them on my G1, but I don't like them on the G1 because they are white, and too intrusive for my taste. i prefer black gridlines like those on a Nikon "E" screen.

If anyone knows how to change them to black, that would be great :).
