❚❚ The k Icon
When the camera establishes
communication with a GPS device, a k icon
will be displayed in the control panel.
Photo
information for pictures taken while the k
icon is displayed will include a page of GPS
data (pg. 229). GPS data are only recorded when the k icon is
displayed; confirm that the k icon is displayed before shooting (a
flashing k icon indicates that the GPS device is searching for a
signal; pictures taken while the k icon is flashing will not include
GPS data). If no data are received from the GPS unit for two
seconds, the k icon will clear from the display and the camera will
stop recording GPS information.
A Heading
The heading is only recorded if the GPS device is
equipped with a digital compass (note that the
GP-1 is not equipped with a compass). Keep the
GPS device pointing in the same direction as the
lens and at least 20 cm (8 in.) from the camera.
A Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
UTC data is provided by the GPS device and is independent of the camera
clock.
