HOW TO CONNECT M3-MTK GPS TO CAMERA BODY (1)
Connect the DSLR camera and M3-MTK GPS as described below.
1.
Turn off the camera.
2.
Remove the cap from the 10 pin remote terminal on the camera body.
3.
Connect the 10 pin connector of M3-MTK GPS to the 10 pin remote terminal on camera. Do
not use any extension cord. For exact cable connector of different models, please refer to
Page 5 – Connector Cable of M3-MTK GPS.
4.
Switch the power mode to "On" or "Auto".
5.
Turn the camera on.
6.
If M3-MTK GPS is properly connected, the camera will display a blinking icon on the top
control panel. It means M3-MTK GPS is searching for a signal. The icon will stop blinking
once signal has been established and M3-MTK GPS is ready for supplying the current position.
7.
M3-MTK GPS will automatically detect the connection of the camera. It cannot be turned on
when the camera is not connected whatever the power mode switch is set to "On" or "Auto".
Both "On" and "Auto" mode only function when the camera is properly connected.
8.
Each satellite broadcasts a digital message that contains two types of information. One type
is ephemeris data, which includes the assigned serial number of the satellite, the status of
the satellite (healthy or faulty), current date and time. The second type is almanac data
which includes precise orbital position of every satellite in the system.
At the initial stage, M3-MTK GPS needs all these data for the position fixed. It usually takes a
minute to few minutes to receive all data. An open sky outdoor environment will enable
faster acquisition process. It will take a longer time at a weak signal environment. Once M3-
MTK GPS locks to the satellites, it will take a few seconds for reacquisition even at weak signal
environment.
