Q Displaying the Electronic Level

You can display the electronic level on the LCD monitor, and in the
viewfinder or on the LCD panel 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
bigger.
With this same procedure, you can display the electronic level during Live
View shooting and before shooting a movie (p.182, 210). Note that the
electronic level cannot be displayed during movie shooting. (The electronic
level will disappear when you start shooting a movie.)
