I'm with Gonz, have to at the very least set the camera on a level tripod first, don't use a hot shoe mounted spirit level as these can be out by a degree and even check the level off the QR plate if you use one as these can even introduce errors. My *ist D became slightly misaligned over a year or so as the hard rubber on my QR plate (which I leave on) started to compress and due to some badly placed depressions in the base of the camera began to tilt. I had to fill these depressions and add a new QR plate to remedy the slight tilt.
