PENTAX O-GPS1

Special add-on module to the hotshoe designed for select models of Pentax digital cameras with built-in GPS satellite navigation. Thanks to the additional model can be saved with the photos latitude and longitude, altitude and time of a single coordinated with UTC. This information can then be used for example to show the place of purchase on the map (you can use a program such as the popular Google Earth). Thus, for example, can be re-assemble route trip, find out exactly where he was taken from some specific images, etc.

When used with models Pentax K-5 or Kr is also available astropacer the function at which the unit is connected with the system SR (Shake Reduction) camera for easy viewing and photographing celestial bodies. With this feature, the camera is capable of using data from magnetic and gravity sensors in combination with GPS to calculate the movement of stars, planets and other objects, making these objects when shooting captured as solid points and not as blurry streaks, even during long exposure times. This function does not need to use any other accessories (fits only a tripod).

Built-in control function Simple navigation allows the O-GPS1 use even as a simple navigation to a certain point (as the target can be used as well as data stored in dreaming). The equipment includes even an electronic compass and with great precision the direction the camera is displayed on the LCD monitor. With the help of geomagnetism detected by the magnetic sensor using a GPS position data, determine the unit direction relative to true north (this data is also possible to store your photos). With its durable construction, it is possible to operate even in light rain.

Note: For proper function of O-GPS1 compatible with PENTAX SLR must be camera firmware updated to the latest version.
