Okay, not being real eager to dig holes, since I've never found a shovel that
fits my hands, I checked it out. I'll try to be more informative later, maybe
even take a picture with the E-1 of the E-330 LCD displaying it various
markings -- that oughta be fun -- but here's a quick description.
Golden Section: the screen displays lines kinda like a squished-up tic-tac-toe
layout. After looking at it a minute, I realized that the lines intersect at
the magic "thirds" points. Useful for those who still adhere to that principle
and need reminding just where those points are.
Grid: A grid -- you were expecting something else? -- formed by dotted lines, 8
squares wide by 6 squares high. Should be useful for keeping things level,
etc. May even cause me to break out the barely used 35/2.8 Zuiko shift.
Scale: Looks like the crosshairs in a good rifle scope, complete with little
tick marks intersecting the vertical and horizonal lines like on a ruler (some
say the correct word is "rule," not "ruler," which means one who rules. Never
mind.) I don't know what this might be useful for, but being an all-American
gun nut, I like this one best. :-)
