Christine,
I've been enjoying my k7 for several months now, but until you
mentioned it, I had never flipped on the electronic level! Duh...
Thanks for setting me straight!
If your level is like mine, it'll throw you about 1.5 degrees to the
right. :-( So I've turned mine off.
But that isn't a deal-breaker for me.

Set the camera up so it IS absolutely level (Duct tape a meter long
level to it's base) then note the cameras level reading, say one pixel
one way or another, and always set it there.
As an aside (see, there's another) I now know that it is critical to
make sure your tripod head is absolutely level if you are going to be
panning a wide angle lens (DA*16-50 @ 16) more than 10 degrees.
Rolling re-positioning of the camera makes one dizzy when viewing!

Grant me the senility to forget the people
I never liked anyway,
The good fortune to run into the ones I do, and
The eyesight to tell the difference.
