Taking Photographs—Using a GPS Unit
Garmin and Magellan GPS units that conform to version 2.01 of the National
Marine Electronics Association NMEA0183 protocol can be connected to
the camera’s ten-pin remote terminal using an MC-35 GPS adapter cord
(available separately; 247), allowing information on the camera’s current
position to be recorded when photographs are taken. Operation has been
confi rmed with the following devices:
• Garmin eTrex series
• Magellan SporTrak series
These devices connect to the MC-35 using the cable provided by the manu-
facturer of the GPS device. See the MC-35 instruction manual for details.
Before turning the camera on, set the GPS device to NMEA mode.
When the camera establishes communication
with a GPS device, a
icon will be displayed in
the top control panel. The exposure meters will
not turn off while this icon is displayed. Photo
information for pictures taken while the icon is
displayed will include an additional page ( 138) recording the current lati-
tude, longitude, altitude, and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). If no data
are received from the GPS unit for two seconds, the icon will clear from the
display and the camera will stop recording GPS information.
Using a GPS Unit
Recording GPS Data
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
UTC data is provided by the GPS device and is independent of the camera clock.
GPS Data
GPS data are only recorded when the icon is dis-
played. Confi rm that the icon is displayed in the
top control panel before shooting. A fl ashing icon
indicates that the GPS device is searching for a signal;
pictures taken while the icon is fl ashing will not in-
clude GPS data.
