Keeping the Camera Level: Virtual Horizon

Roll and pitch data from the camera tilt sensor can be dis-

played for assistance in levelling the camera on a tripod

and in other similar situations.

line turns green if the camera is tilted neither left nor right,

while the pitch reference line turns green and a dot ap-

ther forward nor back. Each division is equivalent to 5°.
