ACalculating the Length of the Final Movie 
The total number of frames in the final 
movie can be approximated by dividing the 
shooting time by the interval and rounding 
up.
 The length of the final movie can then 
be calculated by dividing the number of 
shots by the frame rate selected for  Movie 
settings > Frame size/frame rate .
 A 
48 frame movie recorded at  1920 × 1080; 
24p , for example, will be about two 
seconds long.
 The maximum length for 
movies recorded using time-lapse 
photography is 20 minutes.
ADuring Shooting
During time-lapse photography, a  Q icon 
will flash and the time-lapse recording 
indicator will be displayed in the control 
panel.
 The time remaining (in hours and 
minutes) appears in the shutter-speed 
display immediately before each frame is 
recorded.
 At other times, the time remaining can be viewed by 
pressing the shutter-release button halfway. Regardless of the option 
selected for Custom Setting c2 ( Standby timer, 0 319), the standby 
timer will not expire during shooting.
To view current time-lapse photography 
settings or end time-lapse photography 
( 0 220), press the  G button between 
shots. Length recorded/

AImage Review
The  K button can not be used to view pictures while time-lapse 
photography is in progress, but the  current frame will be displayed for 
a few seconds after each shot if  On is selected for  Image review in the 
playback menu ( 0287).
 Other playback operations can not be 
performed while the frame is displayed.
ARelease Mode
Regardless of the release mode select ed, the camera will take one shot 
at each interval.
 The self-timer can not be used.

Non-CPU lenses can be used in exposure modes g and  h, with 
aperture set using the lens aperture ring.
 By specifying lens data 
(lens focal length and maximum aperture), the user can gain 
access to the following CPU lens functions.
If the focal length of the lens is known:
• Power zoom can be used with optional flash units
• Lens focal length is listed (with an asterisk) in the playback 
photo info display
If the maximum aperture of the lens is known:
• The aperture value is displayed in the control panel and 
viewfinder
• Flash level is adjusted for changes in aperture if the flash unit 
supports AA (auto aperture) mode
• Aperture is listed (with an asterisk) in the playback photo info 
display
Specifying both the focal length and maximum aperture of the lens:
• Enables color matrix metering (note that it may be necessary to 
use center-weighted or spot metering to achieve accurate 
results with some lenses, including Reflex-NIKKOR lenses)
• Improves the precision of center-weighted and spot metering 
and i-TTL balanced fill-flash for digital SLR
Non-CPU Lenses

AFocal Length Not Listed
If the correct focal length is not listed, choose the closest value greater 
than the actual focal length of the lens.
ATeleconverters and Zoom Lenses
The maximum aperture for teleconv erters is the combined maximum 
aperture of the teleconverter and the lens.
 Note that lens data are not 
adjusted when non-CPU lenses are zoomed in or out. The data for 
different focal lengths can be entered as separate lens numbers, or the 
data for the lens can be edited to reflect the new values for lens focal 
length and maximum aperture each time zoom is adjusted. 
						

							232
To recall lens data when using a non-CPU lens:
1Assign non-CPU lens number selection to a camera control.
Select  Choose non-CPU lens number  as the “Press + 
command dials” option for a camera control in the Custom 
Settings menu ( 0348).
 Non-CPU lens number selection can 
be assigned to the  Fn button (Custom Setting f4,  Assign Fn 
button , 0 343), the  Pv button (Custom Setting f5,  Assign 
preview button , 0 349), or the  AAE-L/AF-L  button (Custom

A GPS unit can be connected to the ten-pin remote terminal, 
allowing the current latitude, longitude, altitude, Coordinated 
Universal Time (UTC), and heading to be recorded with each 
photograph taken.
 The camera can be used with an optional 
GP-1 and GP-1A GPS units (see below; note that these units do 
not provide the compass heading), or with compatible third-
party units connected via an optional MC-35 GPS adapter cord 
( 0 440).
❚❚GP-1/GP-1A GPS Units
These optional GPS units are designed 
for use with Nikon digital cameras.
 For 
information on connecting the unit, see 
the manual provided with the device.
Location Data
AThe  o Icon
Connection status is shown by the  o icon:
• o  (static) : The camera has established 
communication with the GPS device.
 Photo information for pictures taken while 
this icon is displayed includes an 
additional page of location data ( 0246).
• o  (flashing) : The location device is 
searching for a signal.
 Pictures taken while the icon is flashing do not 
include location data.
• No icon : No new location data have been received from the GPS device 
for at least two seconds.
 Pictures taken when the  o icon is not 
displayed do not include location data. 
						

							234
❚❚Setup Menu Options
The  Location data  item in the setup menu contains the options 
listed below.
• Standby timer : Choose whether or not the exposure meters 
will turn off automatically when a GPS unit is attached.
• Position : This item is only available if a GPS device is 
connected, when it displays the current latitude, longitude, 
altitude, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and heading (if 
supported) as reported by the GPS device.
• Set clock from satellite : Select Ye s to synchronize the camera 
clock with the time reported by the GPS device.
OptionDescription
Enable Exposure meters will turn off automatically if no 
operations are performed fo
r the period specified in 
Custom Setting c2 ( Standby timer, 0 319; to allow the 
camera time to acquire location data when a GP-1 or 
GP-1A is connected, the delay is extended by up to one 
minute after exposure meters  are activated or the camera 
is turned on).
 This reduces the drain on the battery.
Disable Exposure meters will not turn off while a GPS unit is 
connected.
AHeading
The heading is only recorded if the GPS 
device is equipped with a digital compass 
(note that the GP-1 and GP-1A are not 
equipped with a compass).
 Keep the GPS 
device pointing in the same direction as the 
lens and at least 20cm (8 in.) from the 
camera.
ACoordinated Universal Time (UTC)
UTC data is provided by the GPS device and is independent of the 
camera clock.
