The GP-1 GPS Unit

The GP-1 GPS unit (available separately) can be connected to the camera’s accessory
terminal as shown below using the cable supplied with the GP-1, allowing
information on the camera’s current position to be recorded when photographs are
taken. Turn the camera off before connecting the GP-1; for more information, see the
GP-1 manual.

When the camera establishes communication with the GP-1, a
X icon will be displayed in the control panel. Photo
information for pictures taken while the

X icon is displayed will

include an additional page (pg. 133) recording the current
latitude, longitude, altitude, and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). If no data are
received from the GP-1 for two seconds, the

X icon will clear from the display and

the camera will stop recording GPS information.

A

GPS Data

GPS data are only recorded when the

X icon is displayed. Confirm

that the

X icon is displayed in the control panel before shooting. A

flashing

X icon indicates that the GP-1 is searching for a signal;

pictures taken while the

X icon is flashing will not include GPS data.
