If Enable is selected for GPS > Auto meter off in the setup menu for D4, D3-series, D800, D800E, D700,
D300-series, D90, D7000, D5100, D5000 and D3100 cameras, the exposure meters will turn off automati-
cally after the time specifi ed in the camera Custom Settings menu.
This reduces the drain on the battery
but may prevent GPS data from being recorded if the exposure meters are not activated until immedi-
ately before the picture is taken.
Check that the O icon is displayed before shooting.
The GP-1A periodi-
cally acquires GPS data when the camera or exposure meters are off , although the LED will not light.
If no
operations are performed for about three hours, the GP-1A will turn off .
When a D2X, D2XS, D2HS, or D200 camera is connected, or a D4, D3-series, D800, D800E, D700, D300-
series, D90, D7000, D5100, D5000 or D3100 camera is connected with Disable selected for GPS > Auto
meter off , the exposure meters will not turn off while the GP-1A is connected.
The drain on the camera
battery can be reduced by turning the camera off when not in use.
