Using Location Data Functions/Displaying Maps
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 to 
images can be imprinted on the images by using Data imprint (A68) in 
the playback menu.
• Captured images and related logs can be displayed if you use the altitude or 
water depth log recording functions (A145).
B Notes About Altimeter and Depth Gauge
• Use Alt./depth correction in Altitude/depth options (A118) 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/Water Depth
• The altimeter or depth gauge can be 
displayed when Altimeter/depth gauge 
in Altitude/depth options in the location 
data options menu is set to On (default 
setting).
• The depth gauge and water depth are 
displayed when you select Underwater 
scene mode, or select x (scene auto 
selector) mode and then submerge the 
camera underwater. If the camera is not 
being used underwater when Underwater 
is selected, the depth gauge display is fixed 
at 0 m (0 ft).
• The display range of the altitude is -300 m 
to +4500 m (-984 to +14,760 ft), and the 
display range of the water depth is 0 m to 35 m (0 ft to 114 ft).
• When altitude or water depth is corrected, i is displayed next to the altitude or 
water depth.
