Have seen several flavors of this and some just use it "on" and then
process the raw files to avoid the art filter effect. Might be helpful
to precisely focus the OM-Z lenses in some situations. Mixed reviews
on accuracy but some like it.

Mu43rumors figured out a simple way to use one of the art filters for
on-demand “focus peaking” with the Olympus OM-D E-M5.
1) Change the mode dial on the E-M5 to “A”
2) Menu > Shooting Menu 1: set the “Picture Mode” to “ART 11 Key Line”
3) Optional step if you want magnified view during focus peaking: Menu
> Shooting Menu 1 > Set “Digital Tele-converter” to “On”
4) Menu > Shooting Menu 1: select “Reset/Myset”, then select “Myset1″
and choose “Set”
5) Menu > Custom Menu B: select “Button Function”, then select “Fn1
Function” and choose “My1″
6) Menu > Shooting Menu 1: set the “Picture Mode” to “Natural” (or
whatever you started out with)
7) Menu > Shooting Menu 1 > Set “Digital Tele-converter” back to “Off”
if you set it to “On” in Step 3 above
At this point, you’ll have the “Key Line” art filter, which acts like a
form of focus peaking, assigned to the Fn1 button. You can hold down
the button while focusing for a kind of “on demand” focus peaking and
then release the button before you shoot so that the art filter doesn’t
affect the captured image itself.
2-13 screen works well for me too, Mike
