❚❚The k Icon

When the camera establishes
communication with a GPS device, a

k icon

will be displayed in the top control panel.
Photo information for pictures taken while
the

k icon is displayed will include a page

of GPS data (pg. 238), including the current latitude, longitude,
altitude, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and heading (if
supported). If no data are received from the GPS unit for two
seconds, the

k icon will clear from the display and the camera will

stop recording GPS information.

A

GPS Data

GPS data are only recorded when the

k icon is

displayed. Confirm that the

k icon is displayed

in the top control panel before shooting. A
flashing

k icon indicates that the GPS device is

searching for a signal; pictures taken while the

k

icon is flashing will not include GPS data.
