Connect 

di-GPS®  Pro L

 to camera 

 
Connect the DSLR camera and di-GPS®  Pro L as described below. 

1.  Turn off the camera. 

2.  Remove the Cap from the 10 pin remote terminal on the camera body.  

3.  Store the Cap in a safe place. 

4.  Connect  di-

GPS®  Pro  L  to  the  camera’s  10  pin  remote  terminal  with  10  pin 

connector.    Do  not  use  any  extension  cord.    The  10  pin  connector  must  be 

aligned with the mark on the camera body. Tighten the locking nut on the 10 pin 

connector. 

5. 

Switch the power mode to “On” or “Auto”.  

6.  Turn the camera on. 

7.  If di-GPS®  Pro L is properly connected, the camera will display a blinking icon in 

the top control panel as the GPS receiver is searching for a signal. The icon will 

stop  blinking  once  signal  has  been  established  and  the  receiver  is  ready  to 

supply the current position. 

 

di-GPS®   Pro  L  will  automatically  detect  the  connection  of  the  camera.    It  cannot  be 

turned on when the camera is not connected whatever the power mode switch is set to 

"On" or "Auto". Both "On" and "Auto" mode is only function when the camera is properly 

connected. 

 

Each satellite broadcasts a digital message that contains two types of information. One 

type  is  ephemeris  data,  which  includes  the assigned  serial  number  of the  satellite;  the 

status of  the satellite (healthy or faulty); the current date and time. The second type is 

almanac data and includes precise orbital position of every satellite in the system.   

 

At  the  initialize  stage,  di-GPS®   Pro  L  needs  all  these  data  for  the  position  fixed.    It 

usually  takes  a  minute  to  few  minutes  to  receive  all  data.    An  open  sky  outdoor 

environment will enable faster acquisition process.  It will take a longer time at a weak 

signal environment. Once di-GPS®  Pro L locked to the satellites, it will only take a few 

seconds for reacquisition even at weak signal environment.
