Nikon D2HS Manual De Usuario

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; 

 239), 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 (

 130) 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.

UTC data is provided by the GPS device and is independent of the camera clock.

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.
