I use the electronic guide in my R3, but I've noticed that my photos are off by 1 or 2 degrees clockwise most times. So when I edit in Lightroom I have to rotate them anticlockwise by that amount. Has anyone else got this issue?

The level is approximate and not spot on.

Some slack is needed for hand held use. If the level is too accurate then hand held use becomes almost impossible.

Pushing the shutter button seems to offset the horizon by a degree or so, at least so with any in camera level I have used regardless of brand.
