Caution ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Tilt is not shown in synchro-monitor mode or if indicators are hidden or
the framing grid is displayed (
G
P.40). When [Level Setting] is set to
[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 [Disp + Snd] or [Sound]
and [Volume Settings] is set to [
] (Mute) (
G
P.77).
• 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.
