Adjust location data settings for use when the camera is 
connected to a GPS or smart device.

G button

➜ B setup menu

Select Yes to download location data from the smart 
device and embed them in pictures taken over the next 
two hours. If the camera is connected to both a smart 
device and a GPS unit, location data will be downloaded 
from the GPS unit. Location data can not be acquired if 
the camera is off or the standby timer has expired.

This item is only available if the location has been 
supplied by a GPS or smart device, when it displays the 
current latitude, longitude, altitude, Coordinated 
Universal Time (UTC), and heading (if supported) as 
reported by the device.

Adjust settings for connection to optional GPS devices.
• Standby timer: Choose whether the standby timer 

remains active while a GPS device is connected. If 
Enable is selected, the exposure meters will turn off 
automatically if no operations are performed for the 
period specified in Custom Setting c2 (Standby timer, 
0 86), reducing the drain on the battery. If a GP-1 or 
GP-1A unit is connected, the unit will remain active for a 
set period after the timer expires; to allow the camera 
time to acquire location data, the delay is extended by 
up to one minute after exposure meters are activated or 
the camera is turned on. Select Disable to disable the 
standby timer when a GPS device is connected.

• Set clock from satellite: Select Yes to synchronize the 

camera clock with the time reported by the GPS device.
