Recording GPS Data on Pictures
When the GPS Unit (available separately) is connected, signals from GPS satellites
are received and the current position information (latitude and longitude) can be
calculated and recorded on the pictures to be shot.
• Make sure to insert the plug in the correct direction. Inserting the plug in the
wrong direction could damage the plug or connector.
• To use the built-in flash, do not attach the GPS Unit to the accessory shoe.
• To start recording the location information, set Record GPS data in GPS
options to On (default setting) (E87).
• Operate in an open-air area when starting to receive signals from GPS satellites.
C GPS Reception Indicator
GPS reception can be checked on the shooting screen.
• n: Signals are being received from four or more satellites and
determine position. Position information is recorded on the image.
• o: Signals are being received from three satellites and determine
position. Position information is recorded on the image.
• z: Signals are being received from the satellite, but positioning is
not possible. The position information recorded last is recorded on
the image.
• y: Signals cannot be received from the satellite, and positioning is
not possible. The position information is not recorded on the image.
C Pictures with Recorded Position Information
• The z icon is displayed during playback for images which have the position information recorded
(A14).
• Position information recorded on a picture can be checked on a map with ViewNX 2 after
transferring the image to a computer (A97).
• The actual place of shooting may differ from the GPS information recorded on the image files due
to the accuracy of the position information obtained and a difference in the geodetic system used.
B Notes on GPS
• Be aware of your surroundings when positioning.
• The date and time of the camera’s internal clock at the time of shooting is recorded at the date
and time of recording indicators displayed on the camera during playback. The time obtained by
the GPS Unit and recorded on images will not be displayed on the camera.
• Position information will be recorded on the first frame of pictures shot using continuous shooting
mode.
