 SPIRIT LEVEL

The integrated electronic spirit level provides a rapid and accurate way of ensuring the camera is either horizontally neutral in alignment (level) and/or vertically neutral in align- ment (plumb). It uses two methods that are fully visible on the sensor unit display and partly visible in the viewfinder. The method is selected by the camera automatically accord- ing to alignment. So, if the camera is in a relatively normal orientation, then Normal is selected and when the camera is in a more extreme orientation then Repro is selected. You can activate the spirit level (for both sensor unit and view- finder displays) by holding down the DISPLAY button for a second, or, by re-assigning the TRUE FOCUS / AE-L / STOP DOWN or M.UP button as an activator. See Custom Options #4, #5, #6 and #7 for details.

Normal: Generally used when the camera is mounted on a tripod/stand in either landscape or portrait orientation. Al- lows the camera to be correctly aligned in two planes re- gardless of apparent deviations in the viewfinder. Particu- larly useful for landscape work where most of the horizon is hidden, for example, or architectural/interior work where wide angle lenses can often create a difficult situation to level the camera visually.

Repro: Normally used when the camera is mounted on a tri- pod/stand in a 'repro' alignment, that is, camera pointing di- rectly downwards (this feature also works pointing directly upwards). Ensures that the camera is in a truly perpendicular alignment.

In use: Sensor unit display – Three scales can be seen in Standard mode. The scale along the lower edge and to the right hand side (in landscape mode) require you to alter the camera's orientation to center the yellow 'bubbles'. When centered, these bubbles become green. The third central scale consisting of a large circle with cross-hairs provides an alternative combined display. The content of the circle changes from yellow to green when the horizontal orien- tation is correct. In Repro mode, the central scale is also a 'bubble' type. Again, the two yellow bubbles become green when centered in their respective scales. As an alternative, the central blue bubble can be centered within the green circle (no color change to the bubble).

Viewfinder display – Only horizontal alignment can be seen in the viewfinder display. It uses the bubble method as de- scribed above except the bubble becomes black when the camera is level. Custom calibration can also be used.

Custom calibration: There is a default calibration for either mode which is selected automatically. However you can store a custom calibration for various purposes.

1)Press the Display button for one second (toggle function) to activate the spirit level feature. The text along the bottom of the display reads EXIT, Standard, MODE.

2)Press the Display button (Approval/OK button). The text along the bottom of the display now reads CAL, User, MODE, and a green user icon appears in the top left of the display.

3)When you are satisfied that the camera is securely in the chosen orientation, press the CAL button (Menu/Exit button) to store the new setting.

4)Press the Display button to toggle between default and custom settings. Custom settings are retained for future use. To make a new custom setting, repeat the above procedure.
