Correct camera angle
Using the level gauge

matches the white line.

upward.

dropped.
• When the camera is tilted very little or not at all, the level gauge will turn green.
• When pictures are taken in portrait orientation, the level gauge is automatically
switched to one for portrait orientation.
Even when angle is more or less corrected, there may be an error of about ±1 degree.
When the camera is being 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.
