Using Altimeter and Depth Gauge
You can check the atmospheric pressure as well as the altitude or water depth of the
current position on the screen, and record the displayed values to the captured
images.
•
The altitude, water depth, and atmospheric pressure that are recorded on images
can be imprinted on the images by using
Data imprint
(
76) in the playback
menu.
•
Captured images and related logs can be displayed if you use the altitude or water
depth log recording functions (

Notes About Altimeter and Depth Gauge

161) in the location data
options menu to correct the altitude or water depth in advance. Before using the camera
underwater, make sure to adjust the data to 0 m (0 ft) at the surface of water.
•
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 calculated using the camera's internal barometer, the data may not be
displayed correctly in some climate conditions.
•
When the scale of the depth gauge display exceeds 25 m (82 ft), the depth gauge display
turns orange. When the scale of the depth gauge display exceeds 30 m (98 ft), the depth
gauge display turns red.
C
Altitude or Water Depth
•
The altimeter or depth gauge can be displayed when
Altimeter/depth gauge
in
Altitude/depth options
in
the location data options menu is set to
On
(default
setting).
•
The depth gauge and water depth are displayed when
you select
Underwater
scene mode, or select
o
(scene
auto selector) mode and then submerge the camera
underwater. If the camera is not being used underwater
when
Underwater
is selected, the depth gauge display
is fixed at 0 m (0 ft).
•
The display range of the altitude is -300 m to +4500 m
(-984 ft to +14,760 ft), and the display range of the water
depth is 0 m to 35 m (0 ft to 114 ft).
•
When altitude or water depth is corrected,
i
is displayed next to the altitude or water
depth.
