My K10D has a tilted sensor. I have found two ways around this: 1) I line up the VF with the line I want parallel within the picture, then I tilt the camera clockwise a smidgen (pardon the technical jargon). 2) I just say f...@k it and turn the camera in either direction so nothing is parallel to the sides of the frame.
I find non-level horizons are like Jazz: Two tilted horizons are a mistake; three are 'style'. --M. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- http://www.EnticingTheLight.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 2009/8/5 Rob Studdert <distudio.p...@gmail.com>: > On 05/08/2009, Anthony Farr <farranth...@gmail.com> wrote: >> It's a pretty useless feature if it can't outperform the naked eye.
