❚❚ Setup Menu Options
The Location data item in the setup menu contains the options
listed below.
• Standby timer: Choose whether or not the exposure meters
will turn off automatically when a GPS unit is attached.
• Position: This item is only available if a GPS device is
connected, when it displays the current latitude, longitude,
altitude, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and heading (if
supported) as reported by the GPS device.
• Set clock from satellite: Select Ye s to synchronize the camera
clock with the time reported by the GPS device.
Option Description
Enable
Exposure meters will turn off automatically if no
operations are performed for the period specified in
Custom Setting c2 (Standby timer, 0 319; to allow the
camera time to acquire location data when a GP-1 or
GP-1A is connected, the delay is extended by up to one
minute after exposure meters are activated or the camera
is turned on).
This reduces the drain on the battery.
Disable
Exposure meters will not turn off while a GPS unit is
connected.
A 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 20cm (8 in.) from the
camera.
A Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
UTC data is provided by the GPS device and is independent of the
camera clock.
