Does the FZ82 have a tilt gauge? (Artificial horizon)

If it does, how do you enable it? All other Lumix cameras it is just by cycling through the Disp settings.

I hardly ever use it for this reason, I'm not very good at holding a camera level, and one of my pet hates is leaning verticals :)
 
Might need to have the AH enabled in the menus before it can be selected by the display button.

"AH"?

Guessing he means 'Artificial Horizon' from the thread question.

Thanks

I haven't found it on my FZ82 although my old TZ70 has one.

Where in the menus?
I've looked many times, and can't find it, hence my question does it have it.

No problem with numerous other Lumix cameras

I didn't realise I had had it two years+ already !

I couldn't find it then either, but I have never seen anywhere that it doesn't have it, so still try and find it, wishful thinking of course.

I also normally refer to it as an artificial horizon, as that is what they are on planes and saw them there long before digital cameras came about :)

I know that a few cameras need to have the display options set so they show when a particular display mode is selected so I was wondering (half aloud!) if the FZ-82 was among them.

I have problems with keeping some cameras level too and some AHs seem to have a degree or 2 tolerance (which doesn't help!)

"And finally, always remember that what's obvious to you, may be a mystery to your reader."

... some wisdom from the lecturer on a Newspaper Society course I was on, about 55 years ago.

The TZ80 has it, I think it's in the image view display somewhere???

Hardly takes a genius to make a decent guess.
 
Getting annoyed with a reader because you failed to communicate clearly isn't, I think, in the spirit of a forum like this. Just answering the question with the two words "artificial horizon", as @Adam-G did, is all that was required.
 
The person who mattered (the OP - that's original poster for the hard of comprehension...) knew what was meant.
