D200 - pictures slanted?

[Kit]

That is not a good and definitive image to judge. If you look at the base of the rock in the foreground, it looks ok. Compare more photos, see if the tilt is constantly at a fixed angle. Or do a shot with vertical and horizontal lines to gauge. Cluster of windows comes to mind.

Doesn't look a wee bit slanted to me. Maybe it's the rock head pointing to top left that gives the slanted feeling!

When I brought one for backfocussing adjustment, the technician shot handheld a poster on the wall, show me the picture on the camera LCD and said "ok what!". God knows how powerful his eyes is to see that it is ok on the small LCD screen.

i have this exact SAME problem.
brought it back to NSC, technican went in with my cam for 10 mins, shot some grid lines, come back out, says everything normal.
as i was in a rush, i said ok as long as it's 'normal'.came back home to check the pics again, and it was INDEED slanted.

forget it.i do rotation in CS2 if need be.

i had the same answer as well... same answer same style... i think he miss out something...

he must be using a tripod, shot it parallel to the ground wrt the A3 size grid line and not shooting handheld using the camera grid line as reference...

That guy is just a poorly trained, lazy fella. By the way, its a chinese guy, and I believe there's only one Chinese guy at the service centre. Don't confuse with the malay guy who is very nice

you are dreaming if you think you can get the horizon 100%, and you are pretty close on that photo, so close infact, that you cant really tell unless you load it into photoshop..

Email Nikon Japan and complain about the tech here. Praise the other tech who is good.

Thanks for all your replies and advice!

This pic is what I mean....

Feel much better that I am not the only one who has this problem......

Looks like a trip down to NSC for me soon...

I can find nothing wrong with this photo other than the hazy condition.
