Hi Woodmaster100,

 

According to the manual, the grid lines are not available in Auto mode. If you go into the P mode, you should be able to access the grid lines option from the menu. This will be near the end of the list. 

 

Hopefully this answers your qauestion.

thanks for the two replies, I have hit the up arrow button over hundred times and all it does is switch from auto mode to miniature mode. I have not seen the LIvE display yet
