The GP-1 GPS Unit
The GP-1 GPS unit (available separately) can be connected to the camera’s accessory 
terminal ( 0281) using the cable supplied with the GP-1, allowing information on the 
camera’s current position to be recorded when photographs are taken.
 Turn the 
camera off before connecting the GP-1; for more information, see the GP-1 manual.
❚❚ Setup Menu Options
The  GPS  item in the setup menu contains the options listed below.
• Auto meter-off : Choose whether the exposure meters turn off automatically when 
the GP-1 is attached.
 
• Position : This item is only available if the GP-1 is connected, 
when it displays the current la titude, longitude, altitude, and 
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as reported by the GP-1.
• Use GPS to set camera clock : Select Ye s to synchronize the camera clock with the time 
reported by the GPS device.
OptionDescription
Enable Exposure meters turn off automatically if no operations are performed for the 
time selected for Custom Setting c2 (
Auto meter-off delay, 0 214; to allow the 
camera time to acquire GPS data, the delay is extended by up to one minute after 
the exposure meters are activated or the camera is turned on).
 This reduces the 
drain on the battery.
Disable Exposure meters do not turn off while the GP-1 is connected.
ACoordinated Universal Time (UTC)
UTC data is provided by the GPS device and is independent of the camera clock.
AThe  ! Icon
Connection status is shown by the  ! icon:
• ! (static) : Camera has established communication with GP-1.
 
Photo information for pictures taken while this icon is displayed 
include an additional page of GPS data ( 0169).
• ! (flashing) : The GP-1 is searching for a signal.
 Pictures taken while 
the icon is flashing do not include GPS data.
• No icon : No new GPS data have been received from the GP-1 for at least two seconds.
 
Pictures taken when the  ! icon is not displayed do not include GPS data.

APlayback Zoom
To zoom in on the photograph when the histogram is 
displayed, press  X.
 Use the  X and  W buttons to zoom in 
and out and scroll the image with the multi selector.
 The 
histogram will be updated to show only the data for the 
portion of the image visible in the monitor.
AHistograms
Camera histograms are intended as a guide only and may differ from those displayed in 
imaging applications.
 Some sample histograms are shown below:
If the image contains objects with a wide range of 
brightnesses, the distribution of tones will be relatively 
even.
If the image is dark, tone distribution will be shifted to the 
left.
If the image is bright, tone distribution will be shifted to 
the right.
Increasing exposure compensation shifts the  distribution of tones to the right, while 
decreasing exposure compensation shifts the distribution to the left.
 Histograms can 
provide a rough idea of overall exposure when br ight ambient lighting makes it difficult to 
see photographs in the monitor.
