If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.
Level indicator display
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the camera is tilted too much, the marking of the level indicator becomes red and
indicates the opposite end of the direction in which the camera is tilted.
When shooting with the camera positioned vertically, the level function can be used
to determine whether the image is vertically level.
Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the camera is tilted too far forward or backward, or it cannot be determined whether
the camera is level, the level indicator becomes red.
During grid guide, no display, or when the picture display is off (GP.56), the level
sensor sound is emitted, but the level indicator is not displayed. When [Level Setting]
is set to [Disp + Snd], only the level sensor sound is emitted.
The level function is not available if the camera is held upside down, when recording
movies, and during interval shooting.
The level function becomes less accurate when the camera is moving or when
shooting in an environment subject to moving, such as on a amusement ride.
No level sensor sound is emitted when [Level Setting] is set to [Disp + Snd] or
[Sound] and [Vol. Settings] is set to [
  ] (Mute) (GP.172).
Use this function as reference so see if images are level when shooting images. The
accuracy of the level when using the camera as a level cannot be guaranteed.
