Default Rule of Thirds Overlay
So on my T2i, I can get the rule of thirds overlay on my live view, but I would love to have it in my viewfinder. I've read the entire manual and haven't seen anything. Anyone have ideas?

Thanks

Just looking at the DPR site; I don't think it has it.

When you choose to "turn on" the overlay on your live screen, is it a menu choice or a "button press"?

If it's a button press, does it cycle..

1 press on in live view
2 presses on in view finder and live screen
3 presses on in view finder only
4 presses off


etc etc etc...

My bad; Entry level bodies dont. But your D3 does, according to both Nikon and DPReview. Essentially its everything but the very entry level.
