An electronic level can be displayed on the screen when shooting as a

guideline to determine if the camera is level.

Display the electronic level.

Press the [ ] button several times to

display the electronic level.

Level the camera as needed.

Level the camera so that the center of the

electronic level is green.

If the electronic level is not displayed in step 1, press the
[

] button, and on the [

] tab, choose [Custom Display].

Add a [ ] to [ ] or [ ] to choose the electronic level.

Tilting the camera too far forward or backward will prevent you
from using the electronic level, which will turn gray.

The electronic level is not displayed during movie recording.

If you hold the camera vertically, the orientation of the electronic
level will be updated automatically to match the camera orientation.

If your shots are not level even if you use the electronic level,
try calibrating the electronic level (= 150).
