Subject: Re: How precise is your K-7's spirit level?
IF it has a function like this, it should be accurate. At least as
accurate as naked eye. K-7 is a serious tool, not a toy and inaccurate
functions are decreasing it's creditability. For an average person the
level is real low-tech and so they think: hey, if even the god damn level
isn't accurate, there's no sense to talk about the complex functions like
image processing.
I suspect that the level is more accurate than many of the people who are
presuming
it is wrong are giving it credit for.
Checking it by putting a cheap harware store level across the hot shoe, for
example, is not going to give an especially accurate assessment.
The level on my camera is bang on the money, as measured by a $50.00
contractor grade precision 12" torpedo level.
What I found though, was that I was not able to directly check the level, I
had to check it somewhat indirectly to get an accurate reading.
If the level is out by a dit or two, it isn't the end of the world, just use
the dit that is lit when level as the aim point.
Or, you can bitch and whine on the internet if that is what floats your
boat, but it isn't as constructive.
