Using Altimeter and Depth Gauge

You can display the altitude or water depth and the atmospheric pressure of the current location on the screen and record the displayed value on the pictures to be shot.

Use Alt./depth correction in the GPS options menu to correct the data in advance. Before using the camera underwater, be sure to adjust the data to 0 m

at the surface of water. You can display a more accurate altitude or water depth if you adjust the data frequently. When altitude or water depth is corrected, iis displayed next to the altitude or water depth.

The altitude or water depth, and the atmospheric pressure are always displayed.

The altimeter or depth gauge is displayed when the Altimeter/depth gauge setting of

Altitude/depth options in the GPS options menu (A88) is set to On (default setting).

The depth gauge and water depth are

displayed when you select Underwater scene mode, or select G(easy auto) mode and then submerge the camera under water.

The display range of the altimeter and altitude is -300 m to +4500 m (-984 to +14,760 ft).

The display range of the depth gauge and water depth is 0 m to 20 m (0 ft to 65 ft).

BNotes on Altimeter and Depth Gauge

Do not use the altimeter or depth gauge in this camera for specialized applications such as mountain climbing or underwater diving. The displayed information is intended as a general guide only.

Since the altitude is measured using the camera's internal barometer, the data may not be displayed correctly in some climate conditions.

When Altimeter/depth gauge is set to On, the altimeter or depth gauge and the atmospheric

pressure are displayed even if Hide info is selected for Photo info in Monitor settings of the setup menu (A94).

If the camera is not being used for underwater shooting when Underwater scene mode is selected, the depth gauge display is fixed at 0 m (0 ft).

When the water depth exceeds 15 m (49 ft), the depth gauge display turns orange. When water depth exceeds 18 m (59 ft), the depth gauge display turns red.

CAltimeter Log and water depth Log

When Create log in the GPS options menu is selected, the altitude or water depth information is recorded at the specified interval. You can display the recorded altitude or water depth logs by using View log to check your movement route.
