GPS
Sets the options for use of a GPS receiver connected to the
camera, and displays the current position (if connected).
See “Connecting to a GPS” on page <451>.
Non-CPU lens data
Provides the ability to add focal length and maximum

in them (basically, most manual focus lenses). See “Lenses
and Focusing” on page <360>.
AF fine tune
Provides the ability to tune the focus mechanism to better

“Adjusting Your Lenses” on page <395>.
Firmware version
Displays the current firmware version of the camera (see
“Firmware Version” on page <218>).
