Whenever your camera is inactive for 2 minutes,
the Unleashed will stop sending GPS data to the
camera, and the GPS icon on the camera will
disappear. This will allow the meter to go off,
saving a lot of power (this is the equivalent to
Nikon’s built-in "Auto meter off" feature, which
can be found in the GPS menu of the D300 and
up). Whenever you half-press the shutter button,
the Unleashed instantly sends a full set of GPS
data to the camera, so that from the first shot on,
you will have GPS data embedded in your photo.
This is not the case with Nikons "Auto meter off",
which is why it is recommended to turn this
feature OFF in your cameras setup menu.
After 15 minutes of inactivity (or the camera
being turned off), the Unleashed will drop the
Bluetooth connection to the GPS, and will go into
a power-saving mode. As soon as you turn the
camera on or activate it again, it will reestablish
the connection, while already sending the last
known position to the camera.
