Camera orientation
True north displays if true north is selected and a valid declination angle is entered during setup.
The default is magnetic north.
For text display mode, if magnetic North is selected, orientation is shown as green letters on black
background. If True North is selected, yellow letters on black background show the compass ori-
entation.
For icon display mode, magnetic North has a green flag next to the icon. True North has a yellow
star next to the icon.
As with any compass, soft iron and localized magnetic fields may result in incorrect compass read-
ings. It is recommended that the compass be calibrated every month or immediately after being
subjected to a strong magnetic field. Examples of strong magnetic fields include, but are not lim-
ited to:
-
power lines
-
transformers
-
strong magnets.
A compass indicator of "CC" indicates that compass is out of calibration. See section “Configuring
Options“ on page 35 for instructions.
See chapter 4.3 for information on enabling and disabling the compass, selecting either a text or
an icon indicator, compass calibration, and entering a local declination angle for true north read-
ings.
WARNING
As with any magnetic compass, the indicated direction can be influenced by soft iron structures,
including buildings and localized magnetic fields from nearby electrical equipment. Do not rely
on the compass as a sole means of navigation. The compass is intended to be an aid and is not
a substitute for proper training.
