Using GPS/Displaying Maps
Using Altimeter and Depth Gauge
You can display the altitude or water depth and the atmospheric pressure of the
current location on the screen and record the displayed value on the pictures to
be shot.
• Use
Alt./depth correction
in the GPS options menu to correct the data in
advance. Before using the camera underwater, be 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 GPS options
menu (A88) 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 on 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 (A94).
• 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.
C Altimeter Log and water depth Log
When Create log in the GPS options menu is selected, the altitude or water depth information is
recorded at the specified interval. You can display the recorded altitude or water depth logs by using
View log to check your movement route.
