The GP- 1 GPS Unit
The GP-1 GPS unit (available
separately)
can be connected
to the
camera's accessory terminal
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 _
icon will appear in the information
display.
Photo information
for pictures taken while the
icon is displayed will include an additional
page of GPS
data (_ 121 ). GPS data are only recorded when the
icon is displayed; confirm that the icon appears in the
information
display before shooting (a flashing icon indicates that the GP-1 is searching
for a signal; pictures taken while the icon is flashing do not include GPS data). If no data
are received from the GP-1 for two seconds, the _
icon will clear from the display
and the camera will stop recording
GPS information.
II SetupMenu Options
The GPS item in the setup menu contains the options
listed below.
