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 (→32) may not 
operate correctly if the pictures are taken with the camera pointing sharply up or down.
