Correct 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 right side has
dropped.
• When the camera’s angle is minimal, 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.
