I have a Canon Powershot A720IS and the last firmware work fine.

For the next release it' s possible to put on display a littlle BUBBLE LEVEL?

What do you think about?

Thank you

Adding something to the display is easy. However, if the camera has no built-in hardware to support level measurement then adding that particular function would be impossible.

Reading the posts, it looks like the camera orientation sensors are not really accurate enough to be used to level the camera.
