To help level the camera, the electronic level can be displayed on the LCD monitor, in the viewfinder, and on the LCD panel. Note that only the horizontal level will be displayed. (No vertical level.)
Attention:
- Even when the tilt is corrected, there is a margin of error of +/-1 degree.
- If the camera is significantly tilted, the electronic level's margin of error will be greater.
Displaying the Electronic Level on the LCD Monitor
1. Set the power switch to <ON>.
2. Press the <INFO.> button.
Each time you press the <INFO.> button, the screen display will change.
Note:
If the electronic level does not appear, first select [

Note:
The electronic level can also be displayed during Live View shooting and movie shooting
Displaying the Electronic Level in the Viewfinder

- In the viewfinder and on the LCD panel, the electronic level will use the exposure scale to display the horizontal tilt up to +/-9 degree in 1 degree increments. As shown in the images below, the horizontal tilt is 4 degrees, which is indicated by the five (
) exposure level marks. (The mark right below the < 
> standard exposure index indicates the standard level, rather than the degree of tilt.)
- Pressing the shutter button halfway will switch the exposure level scale back to indicating the exposure level.
