Gimbal correction causes unforeseen problems

My horizon was not level during a photo shoot this morning, so I corrected using the in-flight option 'adust gimbal roll'. And while this got the horizon level, the correction apparently alters the camera's perspective; the photo dips in the direction of the gimbal roll correction. In otherwords, if I increase the roll to the right by pressing the left up arrow, the camera tilts in the same direction. So, the ground photographer pointed this out upon post-processing my images. This was especially obvious in 1-pt perspectives wherein the camera is pointed perpendicular to the side of a building.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I suspect this would not have happened if I had calibrated my IMU before flight, but I didn't have a level with me at the time. Thoughts anyone?
