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.
