It's a pretty useless feature if it can't outperform the naked eye. I
could do better at midnight after a sixpack of Boag's Premium. Or
two.
Does anyone remember Rob Studdert's complaint about the 'twisted'
sensor in his K10D. I wonder if the tilt-meter is meant to agree with
the camera body or the sensor. Did the test shots look this tilted in
your viewfinder, Chris?
How hard would it be to have zero calibration available in a service
menu, like focus calibration for lenses?
