Using the level gauge
If you want to make sure that the camera is not slanted or tilted, for example, when you
take a picture of a landscape, use the level gauge indication as a reference.
The yellow line indicates the current angle. 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 right side has
dropped.
• When the camera is tilted very little or not at all, the level gauge will turn green.
●
Even when angle is more or less corrected, there may be an error of about ±1 degree.
●
The level gauge may not be displayed correctly or the direction detect function (→30) may not
operate correctly if the pictures are taken with the camera pointing sharply up or down.
