Use Alt./depth correction in the Location data options menu to correct
the data in advance. Before using the camera underwater, make sure to
adjust the data to 0 m at the surface of water. You can display a more
accurate altitude or water depth if you adjust the data frequently. When
altitude or water depth is corrected,
i
is displayed next to the altitude or
water depth.
•
The altitude or water depth, and the
atmospheric pressure are always
displayed.

Notes About Altimeter and Depth Gauge
•
Do not use the altimeter or depth gauge in this camera for specialized applications
such as mountain climbing or underwater diving. The displayed information is
intended as a general guide only.
•
Since the altitude is measured using the camera's internal barometer, the data may
not be displayed correctly in some climate conditions.
•
When Altimeter/depth gauge is set to On , the altimeter or depth gauge and the
atmospheric pressure are displayed even if Hide info is selected for Photo info in
Monitor settings of the setup menu (
A
76).
•
If the camera is not being used for underwater shooting when Underwater scene
mode is selected, the depth gauge display is fixed at 0 m (0 ft).
•
When the water depth exceeds 15 m (49 ft), the depth gauge display turns orange.
When water depth exceeds 18 m (59 ft), the depth gauge display turns red.
