Remote Trigger / Shutter Release Pass-through 

 
In  order  to  make  sure  that  Nikon  DSLRs  can  work  properly  when  the  remote  connecting  socket  is 
occupied  by Solmeta  geotagger,  the  Geotagger  N2  is  designed  with  a  2.5mm  remote  pass  –through.  We 
also provide a remote control in the package which enables you to use the remote trigger when the solmeta 
geotagger is working . 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

“ Indoors” Geotagging 

 

One of the main features of the Geotagger  N2 is its unique „indoor‟ GPS signal fixing ability. This feature 
allows  the  device  to  continue  to  supply  location  information  to  the  camera,  even  if  signals  from  GPS 
satellites are blocked. If you should enter a location, such as a building, where the roof blocks the signals  
from the GPS satellites, the device memorizes the last location fix and sends this location to the camera for 
each  photograph  taken  until  GPS  signals  are  received  again  from  the  satellites  and  a  new  fix  can  be 
obtained. 
 
Once you leave the no/weak signal area, the device will automatically reacquire a GPS signal to obtain the 
new, exact location. 
 
If  you  are  taking  photographs  “indoors”  and  do  not  want  the  last received  signal  to  be  recorded  in  your 
photos, you can just switch the Geotagger N2 to “Off”.
