Electronic Level

This camera is equipped with an electronic level for detecting whether the camera is level.

When [Electronic Level] is set to O (On) in the [A Rec. Mode] menu, the electronic level can be displayed, and you can check how level the camera is (p.108).

The horizontal bar scale shows a tilt to the left or right (horizontal tilt) and the vertical bar scale shows a tilt upward or downward (vertical tilt).

The number of increments on the scales and the color of bar scale show the camera angle.
