Nikon D200 Manuel D’Utilisation

Garmin and Magellan GPS units that conform to version 2.01 or 3.01 of the Na-
tional Marine Electronics Association NMEA0183 data format can be connected 
to the camera’s ten-pin remote terminal using an MC-35 GPS adapter cord (avail-
able separately; 

 182), allowing information on the camera’s current position to 

be recorded when photographs are taken. Operation has been confi rmed with 
Garmin eTrex, Garmin geko, and Magellan SporTrack series devices equipped 
with a PC interface cable connector.  These devices 
connect to the MC-35 using a cable with a D-sub 9-
pin connector provided by the manufacturer of the 
GPS device.  See the MC-35 instruction manual for 
details.  Before turning the camera on, set the GPS 
device to NMEA mode (4800 baud).

When the camera establishes communication with a 
GPS device, a 

 icon will be displayed in the 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 (

 100) recording the current latitude, 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 displayed.  Confi rm that the 

 icon is 

displayed in the 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 include 

GPS data.
