Using a GPS Unit
An optional GP-1 GPS unit can be connected to the camera’s accessory terminal
(0 310) using the cable supplied with the GPS unit, allowing information on the
camera’s current position to be recorded when photographs are taken. Turn the
camera off before connecting the GPS unit; for more information, see the manual
provided with the GPS Unit.
❚❚Setup Menu Options
The GPS item in the setup menu contains the options listed below.
• Standby timer: Choose whether the exposure meters turn off automatically when a
GPS unit is attached.
• Position: This item is only available if a GPS unit is connected, when it displays the
current latitude, longitude, altitude, and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as
reported by GPS.
• Use GPS to set camera clock: Select Yes to synchronize the camera clock with the time
reported by the GPS device.
Option Description
Enable
Exposure meters turn off automatically if no operations are performed for the
time selected for Custom Setting c2 (Standby timer, 0 237; to allow the camera
time to acquire GPS data, the delay is extended by up to one minute after the
exposure meters are activated or the camera is turned on). This reduces the drain
on the battery.
Disable Exposure meters do not turn off while a GPS unit is connected.
A Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
UTC data is provided by the GPS device and is independent of the camera clock.
