Level indicator display
Caution-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• During grid guide display, no display, or when the picture display is turned off
(GP.56), 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.187).
• 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.
When level:
The level indicator becomes green, indicating that
the scale is in the middle.
When tilted to the right or left:
The mark on the level indicator becomes orange,
indicating the opposite side of the direction in which
the camera is tilted.
When the camera is tilted too far to the right or left:
Half of the level indicator on the opposite side of the
direction in which the camera is tilted becomes red.
The mark on the level indicator is not displayed.
When the camera is tilted too far forward or backward,
or it cannot be determined whether the camera is level:
The top and bottom of the level indicator become
red. The mark on the level indicator is not
displayed.
When the camera is held vertically:
When shooting with the camera positioned
vertically, the level function can be used to
determine whether the image is vertically level.
