During shooting, overexposure is indicated in red, underexposure in blue, and the range metered using spot metering in green.

Level gauge display

The orientation of the camera is indicated. The “tilt” direction is indicated on the vertical bar and the “horizon” direction on the horizontal bar. The camera is level and plumb when the bars turn green.

  • Use the indicators on the level gauge as a guide.
  • Error in the display can be corrected via calibration.
