That's a good (and easy) way to do it. I checked the level in the EP-1 with and it was tinsy bit off. OTOH, the bubble wasn't perfect on close inspection. Good enough for government work. Of course, my cheap plastic bubble level was only "Hecho en USA".

As you can see, it's miles out (1.06 degrees, the Lightroom straighten tool says, which ties in with what Ralf said). The vertical line above the bubble is a part of a window frame and that appears to be leaning too. I'm still not sure whether it's worth the hassle of taking it back as there seems to be a proliferation of this issue with others on the list. Now I know by how much it's it's wrong, I can compensate.
