When shooting with the camera positioned vertically, the level function can be used to determine whether the image is vertically level (the level indicator appears in a different place).

Caution---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During grid guide display, no display, or when the picture display is turned off (GP.42), the level sound is emitted, but the level indicator is not displayed. When [Level Setting] is set to [Display+Sound], only the level sound is emitted.

The level function is not available if the camera is held upside down, when recording movies, and during interval shooting.

The level function becomes less accurate when the camera is moving or when shooting in an environment subject to moving, such as on a amusement ride.

No level sound is emitted when [Level Setting] is set to [Display+Sound] or [Sound] and [Volume Settings] is set to [] (Mute) (GP.116).

Use this function as a reference to see if images are level when shooting images. The accuracy of the level when using the camera as a level cannot be guaranteed.
