Using Location Data Functions/Displaying Maps
You can display the altitude or water depth and the atmospheric pressure of
the current position on the screen and record the displayed value on the
images to be shot.
• Use
Alt./depth correction
in the Location data options menu to correct
the data in advance. Before using the camera underwater, make sure to
adjust the data to 0 m at the surface of water. You can display a more
accurate altitude or water depth if you adjust the data frequently. When
altitude or water depth is corrected, i is displayed next to the altitude or
water depth.
• The altitude or water depth, and the
atmospheric pressure are always
displayed.
• The altimeter or depth gauge is
displayed when the Altimeter/depth
gauge setting of Altitude/depth
options in the Location data options
menu (A87) is set to On (default
setting).
• The depth gauge and water depth are
displayed when you select
Underwater scene mode, or select G
(easy auto) mode and then submerge
the camera under water.
• The display range of the altimeter and
altitude is -300 m to +4500 m (-984 to
+14,760 ft).
• The display range of the depth gauge and water depth is 0 m to 20 m (0 ft to
65 ft).
B Notes About Altimeter and Depth Gauge
• Do not use the altimeter or depth gauge in this camera for specialized applications
such as mountain climbing or underwater diving. The displayed information is
intended as a general guide only.
• Since the altitude is measured using the camera's internal barometer, the data may
not be displayed correctly in some climate conditions.
• When Altimeter/depth gauge is set to On, the altimeter or depth gauge and the
atmospheric pressure are displayed even if Hide info is selected for Photo info in
Monitor settings of the setup menu (A76).
• If the camera is not being used for underwater shooting when Underwater scene
mode is selected, the depth gauge display is fixed at 0 m (0 ft).
• When the water depth exceeds 15 m (49 ft), the depth gauge display turns orange.
When water depth exceeds 18 m (59 ft), the depth gauge display turns red.
