The Virtual Horizon Display
The virtual horizon can be used to help level the camera
when mounting it on a tripod. To view the virtual horizon
in movie mode, use the R button as described on page7.

The virtual horizon shows roll and pitch based on information from the camera tilt sensors. If the
camera is tilted neither left nor right, the roll reference line will turn green, while if the camera is
tilted neither forward nor back, the pitch reference line will turn green and a dot will appear in the
center of the display. Each of the divisions in the gauge around the circumference of the display is
equivalent to 5°.

You can also view a virtual horizon using the Virtual horizon option in
the setup menu.

The display is not accurate when the camera is tilted at a sharp angle forward or back. If the camera is
unable to measure tilt, the gauge will vanish from the circumference of the display.
