Q Displaying the Electronic Level

You can display the electronic level on the LCD monitor and in the
viewfinder to help correct camera tilt. Note that you can check only the
horizontal tilt and not the forward/backward tilt.

Horizontal level
Even when the tilt is corrected, there may be a margin of error of ±1°.
If the camera is very tilted, the electronic level's margin of error will be
larger.
During Live View shooting and before movie shooting (except with u+
Tracking), you can also display the electronic level as described above
(p.218, 258). Note that the electronic level cannot be displayed during movie
shooting. (The electronic level will disappear when you start shooting a
movie.)
