GPS Acquisition Status
When [ Mode 1 ] is set, the camera will continue to receive GPS signals at
regular intervals even when the power switch is set to <
2
>. This will
exhaust the battery sooner and fewer shots can be taken. If you will not
use the camera for a prolonged period, set it to [
Disable ].
When [ Mode 2 ] is set, the camera will continue to receive GPS signals at
regular intervals even during auto power off. Therefore, if auto power off
is prolonged, the battery will drain faster and fewer shots can be taken. If
you will not use the camera for a prolonged period, set the power switch
to <
2
>.
The built-in GPS antenna is located in front of the hot shoe on the right
when viewed from the back of the camera (p.28). Note that GPS signal
can be acquired even when an external Speedlite is attached to the hot
shoe, but the acquisition sensitivity will slightly decrease.
GPS Receiver GP-E2 (sold separately) cannot be used.
