The GP- 1 GPS Unit
The GP-1 GPS unit (available
separately) can be connected to the
camera's accessory terminal using the
cable supplied with the GP-1, allowing
information on the camera's current
position to be recorded when
photographs are taken. Turn the
camera off before connecting the GP-1;
for more information, see the GP-1
manual.
When the camera establishes communication with the
GP-1, a_ icon will appear in the information display.
Photo information for pictures taken while the
icon isdisplayed will include an additional page of GPS
data (_ 121 ). GPSdata are only recorded when the
icon isdisplayed; confirm that the icon appears in the
information display before shooting (a flashing icon indicates that the GP-1 is searching
for a signal; pictures taken while the icon isflashing do not include GPSdata). If no data
are received from the GP-1 for two seconds, the _ icon will clear from the display
and the camera will stop recording GPS information.

The GPS item in the setup menu contains the options listed below.
• Autometeroff:Choose whether the exposure meters turn off automatically when
the GP-1 isattached.

Exposure meters turn off automatically if no operations are performed for the
Enable time given in Custom Setting c2 (Auto off timers; _ 157). This reduces the drain
on the battery, but GPSdata may not be recorded if the shutter-release button is
pressedall the way down without pausing.
Disable Exposure meters do not turn offwhile the GP-1is connected; GPSdata will always
be recorded.

when it displays the current latitude, longitude, altitude, and
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as reported by the GP-1.
