Go stand a mile from a skscraper - the left and right sides look parellel.
now go stand by the skyscraper and look up - it converges towards the top.
You cannot adjust your tripod to make the "known vertical lines" parallel with one another.

Not applicable in my scenario. I was shooting in a sports hall, nice flat floor, square room etc. The camera, initially hand held, was pointed directly at the wall ahead 90 degrees to it. it wasn't the vertical line that went out, it was the horizontal where the dark floor met the white wall it clearly went 'uphill' to the right.
When I later came back to re-shoot with a tripod, getting it all level I noticed in the LCD screen that the HORIZONTAL line of the floor had a small incline to the left. When I then downloaded the video into my editing software it was in fact level, thus suggesting the image - in the LCD - is not set correctly
