Thanks. I finally saw it about 10 minutes before I saw you posted this. I don't think it was stated that it only shows up when the shutter is being held released.

I think I have been fairly accurate from the first post and lateral ones....

When you are shooting in H sequential mode with C-AF you can see on the screen the PDAF focus pattern.

but not when focusing or using live view normally.

But as I said, only when you take images. Even the HDR and exposure bracketing modes shows that PDAF area when taking images.

But what to do when some people calls me delusional when they can't even read? 

I don't know why Oly would do this. Why wouldn't they make it show up all the time when in CAF-H? Or at least when half pressing the shutter to focus.

Well the 3.0 was a firmware update and there are all kind fancy limits and oddness that can come up, that then needs to be left as half-baked. I would take it visible all the time then so it iS easier to use or then do the PDAF only grid limitation so user knows better what can be used.
