I think that it is because it gives you an all-purpose setting: with
f5.6 and 3m set, you don't need to worry about focusing.

Hi Trevor,
Try this site. It is very helpful. I haven't sought out your
specifice questions, but f5.6 is the best center and edge sharpness
for the lens according to the chart provided. Enjoy

Subject: [OM] XA questions
I have just decided to get get better acquainted with my Olympus XA.
I have had it for some time, but have used it very little. There
are a few questions that I would appreciate some help with.
Can someone tell me why the F5.6 numbers on my Olympus XA are
coloured orange and all the rest of the f stops are coloured white?
