D Location Data
Local geographic and atmospheric conditions may prevent or delay the acquisition of
location data.
The camera may be unable to receive location data indoors, underground, or
in metal containers or the vicinity of bridges and other large structures, trees, power lines, or
other objects that block or reflect satellite signals.
Pay attention to your footing and
surroundings when looking for locations with good reception.
The positions of navigation
satellites are continuously changing, preventing or delaying the acquisition of location data
at certain hours of the day.
The presence of cellular telephones or other devices that
transmit on frequencies close to those of navigation satellites may also interfere with the
acquisition of location data.
Note that in some cases the camera may take some time to acquire a signal, for example
immediately after the battery is inserted or when the record location data function is
enabled for the first time, or after an extended period of disuse.
Location data for movies are
for the start of recording.
No data will be added to track logs while the camera is unable to
receive location data; in addition, track logs will not be recorded if the clock is not set, the
memory card is not inserted, or if any of the following operations are performed while the
location data function is enabled: the battery runs low or is removed, Off is selected for
Location data > Record location data in the setup menu, or an optional location data unit
is connected.
Note that turning the camera off does not disable the location data function.
Depending on the accuracy of the data acquired from the satellite system and the effects of
local topography on satellite reception, the location data recorded with pictures may differ
from the actual location by up to several hundred meters.
A Connecting Optional Location Data Units
Optional Nikon location data units can be connected to the camera accessory terminal using
the cable supplied with the unit (0 237).
Be sure the camera is off before connecting the
unit.
When an optional location data unit is attached, the built-in location data unit will be
disabled and the camera will receive location data from the optional unit only, but the
Location data > GPS options > Standby timer and Set clock from satellite option in the
setup menu can still be used (0 79).
Track logs can not be created while an optional location
data unit is connected.
See the manual provided with the location data unit for more information.
