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.
