Correct the camera angle
Using the level gauge
The yellow line indicates the current angle (horizontal line). Correct the angle of the
camera so that it matches the white line.
Tilting up or down
In this case, it is facing
upward.
Tilting left or right
In this case, the camera is
tilted to the right.
• When the camera’s angle is near level, the level gauge will turn green.
• When pictures are taken in portrait orientation, the level gauge is automatically
switched to portrait orientation.
Even when the angle is more or less correct, there may be an error of about ±1
degree.
When the camera is moved, the level gauge may not be displayed correctly.
The level gauge may not be displayed correctly or the direction detect function may
not operate correctly if the pictures are taken with the camera pointing sharply up or
down.
