[Rec] Mode: ñ· ¿

Measure bearing, altitude and atmospheric

pressure

It is possible to display or store in recorded pictures the environmental information of the

recording location utilising the built-in compass, altimeter, and barometer.

To display the compass, altimeter, and barometer, set [GPS Setting] to [ON] or [ ].

Select [GPS Setting] from the [GPS/

Sensor] menu. (P44)

• 8 bearings are measured based on the direction the lens of

the camera is pointing in.

About the declination adjustment

Earth is a giant magnet with the S-pole at the North Pole and the N-pole at the South

Pole, and the magnetism the Earth has is called “geomagnetism”. There is a difference

between the angle of the north that a magnetic compass points to and the geographical

“true north” due to the effect of the “geomagnetism”. The difference between these

angles is called “declination”.

The compass in this unit will point to “true north” by automatically correcting the

“declination” with a built-in magnetic sensor.

•

The declination adjustment of this unit is performed by the latitude/longitude

information acquired by the positioning of the GPS. It is recommended to update the

current latitude/longitude by frequently performing the positioning since there may

be a significant difference in declination due to travelling depending on the location.
