❚❚ Setup Menu Options The GPS item in the setup menu contains the options listed below. • Auto meter off: Choose whether or not the exposure meters will turn off automatically when a GPS unit is attached. Option Description Enable Exposure meters will turn off automatically if no operations are performed for the period specified in Custom Setting c2 (Auto meter-off delay). This reduces the drain on the battery but may prevent GPS data from being recorded if the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down without pausing. Disable Exposure meters will not turn off while a GPS unit is connected; GPS data will always be recorded. • Position: This item is only available if a GPS device is connected, when it displays the current latitude, longitude, altitude, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and heading (if supported) as reported by the GPS device. 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 20cm (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. t 201
