Hello. I recently got a canon r5c and have been enjoying it. However when in stills mode (which should be the same as an r5 right?) there are a few things I'm missing from my Sony. Do these things exist for canon, if not is there maybe something similar

Horizon level, to allow me to ensure the camera is perfectly level and aligned EDIT found it using the info button...silly me looking for th8ngs in the menus.

Zebras, so I can see when my highlights are clipping (found em no problem in the video menu

Thanks

No Zebras in still mode. The closest thing is "highlight alert," which is an option when playing back ONLY (look at the playback settings - blue menu tab 5). About the best you can do when shooting is to have the histogram on and check it.

I can't remember accidentally overexposing a shot with the R5, but it would be nice to have a warning when shooting option like other cameras.
