Using a GPS Unit
An optional GP-1 GPS unit can be connected to the camera’s accessory terminal
(0 310) using the cable supplied with the GPS unit, allowing information on the
camera’s current position to be recorded when photographs are taken.
Turn the
camera off before connecting the GPS unit; for more information, see the manual
provided with the GPS Unit.
❚❚ Setup Menu Options
The GPS item in the setup menu contains the options listed below.
• Standby timer: Choose whether the exposure meters turn off automatically when a
GPS unit is attached.
• Position: This item is only available if a GPS unit is connected, when it displays the
current latitude, longitude, altitude, and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as
reported by GPS.
• Use GPS to set camera clock: Select Ye s to synchronize the camera clock with the time
reported by the GPS device.

time selected for Custom Setting c2 (Standby timer, 0 237; to allow the camera
time to acquire GPS data, the delay is extended by up to one minute after the
