The GP-1/GP-1A GPS Unit
The GP-1/GP-1A GPS unit (available separately) can be connected to the camera’s
accessory terminal (0 298) using the cable supplied with the GP-1/GP-1A, allowing
information on the camera’s current position to be recorded when photographs are
taken.
Turn the camera off before connecting the GP-1/GP-1A; for more information,
see the GP-1/GP-1A manual.
❚❚ Setup Menu Options
The GPS item in the setup menu contains the options listed below.
• Standby timer: Choose whether the exposure meters turn off automatically when the
GP-1/GP-1A is attached.
• Position: This item is only available if the GP-1/GP-1A is connected, when it displays
the current latitude, longitude, altitude, and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as
reported by the GP-1/GP-1A.
• Use GPS to set camera clock: Select Ye s to synchronize the camera clock with the time
reported by the GPS device.
Option Description
Enable
Exposure meters turn off automatically if no operations are performed for the
time selected for Custom Setting c2 (Standby timer, 0 227; to allow the camera
time to acquire GPS data, the delay is extended by up to one minute after the
exposure meters are activated or the camera is turned on).
