Nikon D700 manual KIcon, 215, Heading, Coordinated Universal Time UTC

❚❚The kIcon

When the camera establishes communication with a GPS device, a k icon will be displayed in the control panel. Photo information for pictures taken while the k icon is displayed will include a page of GPS

data (pg. 229). GPS data are only recorded when the k icon is displayed; confirm that the k icon is displayed before shooting (a flashing k icon indicates that the GPS device is searching for a signal; pictures taken while the kicon is flashing will not include GPS data). 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.

AHeading

The heading is only recorded if the GPS device is equipped with a digital compass (note that the GP-1 is not equipped with a compass). Keep the GPS device pointing in the same direction as the lens and at least 20 cm (8 in.) from the camera.

ACoordinated Universal Time (UTC)

UTC data is provided by the GPS device and is independent of the camera clock.
