Something I noticed today.... I usually shoot RAW, just because it has the most image info in it for editing flexibility. Today, I shot Large JPG just to see if there was a difference. Well, there was, at least for me.

The R7 has auto leveling and I have noticed that when I shoot RAW, then download all my pictures into Lightroom, they are not level. Not even close. They look great in the viewfinder but are seriously skewed when I open them. Today, in JPG, all the photos, each and every one was dead level, just as it appeared in the viewfinder when I shot it. Very little, if any, color correction or editing (other than a crop) were required.

Is this a Lightroom issue or is there something about RAW that disables auto leveling when shooting RAW?

This is strange. I just tried this with my R7 with auto level engaged, shooting in RAW + JPEG. Opening in both Lightroom and DXO PL6 the RAWs and JPEGs were equally level. What version of Lightroom are you using? As I understand how auto level works, it uses the same mechanism as the IBIS to move the sensor. If that's right, there shouldn't be any difference between RAW and JPEG in terms of how level the shot is.
