Increase the size and accuracy of the built-in electronic level on A7II

[billg380]

I use my A7II for real estate photography and it is essential that the camera be absolutely level vertically and horizontally. The current built-in electronic level is small and I have old eyes and is difficult to see. More importantly, there is way too much play up/down and side to side when the level goes green. I use a gear head and I can get too many clicks up/down/right/left when the level goes green. So in summary I need bigger and more sensitive electronic level. Thank you.

Cant buy buy a laser level or spirit level and use that, you can always adjust in post too btw, inclination correction etc?

Thank you for your responses. I have to use a flash so I don't the ability to add a bubble. I can only hope Sony reads these things and does a firmware upgrade.

You can always attach a bubble with a flat underside to the top of the camera (where the focus plane sign is) using double sided tape. It is quite securely fastened but can be removed easily if required.
