and a message is displayed indicating that a
connection has been established.

The date and time indicated is the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as obtained by the GPS device,

zone specified on the GPS device is indicated.

If the camera is turned off and on or recovering from auto power off, do not shoot until the <USB> lamp remains
lit in green. If you shoot while the lamp is blinking, the correct GPS information may not be added to images.
