    Hello Folks,
    I have tried all morning to fix this, and now I’m asking for your help. My rear screen only shows the level, and not the image. How do I change my rear screen to show the image instead of the level? Thank you very much.

    Terryk1,

    On my Canon camera, if you hit the Info button several times, it will cycle through various settings.

    Thank you Steve, but I don’t have an information button.

    Terryk1,

    I don't have a Sony camera, but you might find some useful information here:

    How to Use Virtual Horizon (Virtual Level) on the Sony a7R IV

    havecamerawilltravel.com/sony-a7r-iv-virtual-level/

    Something about going into your Toolbox and deciding what gets displayed when you hit your Disp button.

    Everything you need to know on how to work your camera or set it up to how you like it is in the manual , available here ; www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/5027/f7c71f7d354e7ad1988a82dc905c5160/50272044M.pdf
    The "Display" button changes the display style . Pressing the button rotates the options you have set on it .
    If all you get is the level , that's how you set it up .
    In which case you need to reset it in the custom settings menu .

    The "Display button" is at the upper part of the rear wheel marked as "DISP".

    You can assign up to 6 display options ( IIRC) to that button .
    I think I have just 3 or 4 options assigned to mine . Saves rotating threw them all when I need to change it .
    It's worth taking the time setting what buttons do what on your camera, makes it much more intuitive and quicker to use .
