Using Altimeter and Depth Gauge You can check the atmospheric pressure as well as the altitude or water depth of the current position on the screen, and record the displayed values to the captured images. • The altitude, water depth, and atmospheric pressure that are recorded on images can be imprinted on the images by using Data imprint (A76) in the playback menu. • Captured images and related logs can be displayed if you use the altitude or water depth log recording functions (A104). B Notes About Altimeter and Depth Gauge • Use Alt./depth correction in Altitude/depth options (A161) in the location data options menu to correct the altitude or water depth in advance. Before using the camera underwater, make sure to adjust the data to 0 m (0 ft) at the surface of water. • Do not use the altimeter or depth gauge in this camera for specialized applications such as mountain climbing or underwater diving. The displayed information is intended as a general guide only. • Since the altitude is calculated using the camera's internal barometer, the data may not be displayed correctly in some climate conditions. • When the scale of the depth gauge display exceeds 25 m (82 ft), the depth gauge display turns orange. When the scale of the depth gauge display exceeds 30 m (98 ft), the depth gauge display turns red. C Altitude or Water Depth • The altimeter or depth gauge can be displayed when Altimeter or depth gauge Altimeter/depth gauge in Altitude/depth options in the location data options menu is set to On (default 40 setting). 30 • The depth gauge and water depth are displayed when you select Underwater scene mode, or select o (scene auto selector) mode and then submerge the camera 20 10 0 15m -10 1010hPa underwater. If the camera is not being used underwater when Underwater is selected, the depth gauge display 25m 0s 500 is fixed at 0 m (0 ft). • The display range of the altitude is -300 m to +4500 m (-984 ft to +14,760 ft), and the display range of the water depth is 0 m to 35 m (0 ft to 114 ft). Atmospheric pressure Altitude or water depth • When altitude or water depth is corrected, i is displayed next to the altitude or water depth. 100 Using Location Data Functions Using Altimeter and Depth Gauge
