Heading
The heading is only recorded if the GPS
device is equipped with a digital compass
(note that the GP-1 and GP-1A are not
equipped with a compass). Keep the GPS
device pointing in the same direction as the
lens and at least 20 cm (8 in.) from the
camera.

Standby timer enabled. The timer expires automatically if
no operations are performed for the period specified in
Custom Setting c2 (Standby timer, 0 296), reducing the
drain on the battery. If a GP-1 or GP-1A unit is connected,
the unit will remain active for a set period after the timer
expires; to allow the camera time to acquire location data,
the delay is extended by up to one minute after exposure
meters are activated or the camera is turned on.
Standby timer disabled, ensuring uninterrupted recording
of location data.
