Olivier, please forgive me if I am speaking out of turn in respect of your  Fuji  X-T1, but my Olympus OMD E-M1 cameras and most of my Nikon bodies have electronic "spirit level" functions buried in their menus.

It might pay you to trawl through the X-T1's menus and see if such options are provided by Fuji and select them - in my case when they are enabled they are displayed in the eye level view finder or the screen / or via Live View.

Having the functions enabled in my cameras has helped me to train myself out of this bad habit or tendency - in my case the camera goes down very slightly to the right side at the time of exposure and the horizontals are thus tilted slightly to the left in the resultant image.

End of confession father.   ;D

Forgive me  for I am a sinner. This feature exists in the X-T1 indeed and it is permanently on in mine. I just don't pay attention to it. This is one of the things that were driving me crazy when I was even younger. There was also my strong desire to have a nice and tidy desk at work instead of an amazing continuous mess. 20 years ago I announced to my colleagues that I had decided to become a "5 s" champion. We had a good laugh!
I have learnt that it is better to accept my limitations and focus on my strong points... so my images are tilted to the right, and I will correct some of them! Thanks a lot for your suggestion, I am sure this is very efficient for most.

This is the view from my balcony here in Singapore. We had a decent sunset tonight, probably the first of the year.
And I tried to remember Hugh's advice. I used the electronic level in my viewfinder and incredibly, it worked pretty well.
Thanks for reminding me!

Pleased to be of assistance. 

Your image is quintessential Singapore - nice!   

My daughter lived there for five years and I loved the place.  Get ready for the tropical thunderstorm and lightning shows that Singapore puts on - I would say that your balcony will give you a great ringside seat.

Indeed, we have had an almost permanent show in the last 7 months!

Beautiful sunset.  The line of reflections of the headlights on the street give a nice accent and avoid the straightforward vertical symmetry of the image.
