Be careful with eyeball scale. The stock rear setting is supposed to be a little negative. If memory serves, the owner's manual lists it.
If the camber is truly bad, the rear gets twitchy and you will see tire wear in a very short time.
See what the alignment guys have to say.

I have a book that says that using a carpenter's level and two blocks of wood of equal length you can get a rough idea setting the camber. Tape the two blocks of wood to the level so that they will touch the bottom and the top of the edge of the rim when the level is placed against them. On level ground with the block of wood touching the bottom of rim and the level set level there should be about a 1/8th of an inch gap between the top of the rim and the top block. I have seen others here on the forum use this method to get the alignment close.
