Originally posted by Monobod I have just had my K-5 returned from jpservice solutions, having sent it back under warrantee for recalibration. The problem I had was that the electronic horizon was out of alignment with the viewfinder by about two degrees of rotation. Just before returning it, the pop up flash also failed to recharge, so I included that on the report.
It has come back this morning and the flash is working but the horizon is still out of alignment. They have replaced the main pcb and recalibrated it according to the repair slip. What is going on here? What is the point of having an electronic horizon that tells me to put the camera on a slope of 2 degrees? The viewfinder and the sensor are correctly aligned, but with the camera level the displayed horizon in the viewfinder and on the back screen is not.
Has anyone else seen this problem with their K-5?
Thank you.
To what are you comparing the electronic horizon to, is it a bubble level slipped in to the flash shoe?
If so, check if that shoe is correctly aligned with the body, or if that level is well made...
BTW, I would not know how to check the hot shoe's alignment, but sometimes I doubt that thing is well assembled, I had that issue with a LX, rather a long time ago...
