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 h icon will appear in the information display. Photo information for pictures taken while the h icon is displayed will include an additional page of GPS data (0 121). GPS data are only recorded when the h icon is displayed; confirm that the icon appears in the information display before shooting (a flashing icon indicates that the GP-1 is searching t for a signal; pictures taken while the icon is flashing do not include GPS data). If no data are received from the GP-1 for two seconds, the h icon will clear from the display and the camera will stop recording GPS information. ❚❚ Setup Menu Options The GPS item in the setup menu contains the options listed below. • Auto meter off: Choose whether the exposure meters turn off automatically when the GP-1 is attached. Option Description Exposure meters turn off automatically if no operations are performed for the Enable time given in Custom Setting c2 (Auto off timers; 0 157). This reduces the drain on the battery, but GPS data may not be recorded if the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down without pausing. Disable Exposure meters do not turn off while the GP-1 is connected; GPS data will always be recorded. • Position: This item is only available if the GP-1 is connected, when it displays the current latitude, longitude, altitude, and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as reported by the GP-1. A Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) UTC data is provided by the GPS device and is independent of the camera clock. 114
