Missing Grid-lines in 1000D

Even in cheap Canon compact one can activate gridlines. Is there an option for 1000D?

If screen is changed-if ever there is one with gridlines-what will be the effect for the focus-points. Will they totally disappear or popup but with no aim on the special screen?

Like the compact cameras, a grid can be displayed on the rear monitor when shooting in Live View.  There is not a grid display available for the optical viewfinder, but you can use the array of focus points to level the composition.  And the 4 focus points in the middle of each diagonal are close to the "rule of thirds" intersects.

I am relieved since i need the lines for 3dstereo. Have now a beamsplitter. Will publish the findings in 3dstereo-section asap.  Beamsplitter= optical addon too shoot 3dstereo with one camera.

It seems i dont have the right canon-book. No gridlines in the index. Yes i didnt yet have enough time to go to all the book-sections.
