has any one else come across this , if i hold my 7d2 level in the hand as i would my 6d no shot has a level horizon , if i place camera on level surface the camera in built level is 1 to 2 bars to the left , so of coarse i can get a level shot using the cameras in built level but not by eye as i would with my 6d
when the level is right in camera the body has a fair lean to the left , has any body run into this before as its starting to annoy me , it has been like it since new but after waiting for it for some time didnt want to send it back lol , is there an easy fix as i can find nothing on the web about this
when the camera level says its level the picture in view finder is way off level but the photo is in fact level

I have my grids enabled in the viewfinder making it nice and easy to level out.

I use virtual horizon on the camera menu. D7100 for reference.

Sorry you're having this problem. It is not a problem on my 7D II.

This is the second major problem with the 7D MII that has been reported on the forum in under a week.

Please keep us posted on the fix or repairs needed to resolve the problem.

I'm planning to purchase one within the next month or two. These problems could delay my purchase, but it's the model that I need for what I shoot.
