Getting Started
This camera is equipped with an electronic level for detecting whether the camera
is level.
When [Electronic Level] is set to O (On) in the [A Rec. Mode] menu, the
electronic level can be displayed, and you can check how level the camera is
(p.108).
The horizontal bar scale shows a tilt to the left or right (horizontal tilt) and the
vertical bar scale shows a tilt upward or downward (vertical tilt).
The number of increments on the scales and the color of bar scale show the
camera angle.
Display examples:
Electronic Level
Horizontally and vertically level (green) Tilted 1° to the right (yellow)
Vertically level (green)
Horizontally level (green)
Tilted 2.5° up (red)
Outside horizontal level display (red)
Outside vertical level display (red)
If the camera angle cannot be detected, both ends and the center of the bar
scale flash red.
The displayed angle on the electronic level is only a guide. There is no
guarantee that the display is accurate.
