Why useful?

Gridlines are very helpful to compose images. Therefore OM-D cameras have the option to adjust grid color. In the standard settings, the grid lines are grey. They can be adjusted as in some situations grey grid lines are hard to see. Therefore OM-D cameras do have the possibility to adjust the gridline color.
