Page 6: Geopic Ii Basic Operation
There are a number of different ways that the GeoPic II can be powered up and powered down. When the GeoPic II powers up, the status light will slowly turn on in the colour corresponding to the last used mode. When the GeoPic II powers down, the status light will slowly turn off in the colour of the currently used mode. - Page 7 To save you time, the GeoPic II remembers the mode you last used and when you power it up will automatically enter that mode.

Page 8: Continuous Mode (Red)
The time that the GeoPic II takes to achieve a good lock on the satellites will depend on a number of factors. Typical lock times are given in the technical details at the end of this manual. -
Page 9: Low Power Mode (Green)
Low power mode (green) Low power mode (green) This section explains how the GeoPic II behaves in its low power mode of operation. In this mode, the status light will always be a green colour. The low power mode of operation ensures that GPS data is only sent to the camera when the user is getting ready to take a picture. - Page 10 Note that the GPS module within the GeoPic II is constantly on during the low power mode, so the power consumed by the GeoPic II does not change. Power is reduced by allowing the camera to enter standby state.
-
Page 11: Freeze Mode (Blue)
Freeze mode (blue) Freeze mode (blue) This section explains how the GeoPic II behaves in its freeze mode of operation. In this mode, the status light will always be a blue colour. The freeze mode of operation keeps the last locked GPS location in a buffer and uses this to send to the camera, instead of live data. - Page 12 To start a search for a new position, press the function button on the GeoPic II. This will cause the GPS module inside the GeoPic II to be powered up, until a new lock is achieved. The new GPS location will be buffered and the internal GPS module will switch off once more.
- Page 13 Unlike the low power (green) mode, the GPS module within the GeoPic II is turned off during freeze mode (unless searching for a new position). The power consumed by the GeoPic II in freeze mode is therefore much lower than both the other modes of operation.
- Page 14 (red) or low power (green) modes. Consider the scenario when the GeoPic II is in low power (green) mode and locked, then you subsequently change to freeze mode. The GPS data from low power mode will not be used in freeze mode.

Lens 50mm f/1.8 Nikon Error warnings: Slow RGB flash Settings are corrupt so GeoPic II has automatically reloaded the default options. To continue, reset the unit by disconnecting from the camera and reconnecting after a few minutes. Nikon D200, D2HS, D2X and D2XS and Fuji S5 Pro are registered... - Page 20 GeoPic II, this problem has now been solved. In total the GeoPic II has three modes of operation, including a low power and freeze mode. Freeze mode keeps the GPS position in an internal buffer, allowing you to geotag photos even when out of sight of the satellites, for example when indoors.
