Also my experience. I have GPS off normally, but I turn it on when in unfamiliar territory. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

Davoud:
I hope the got the GPS right. In my 6D the GPS is always on, always draining the battery, even when the camera is powered off. If I want to use GPS I have to remove the battery between uses. Wally: You could also turn GPS off in the menu. Right. But then you're not using the GPS, are you? Too much trouble. GPS useless. Turn it off and leave it off. It needs to turn off when the camera powers off. Fortunately, Lightroom takes care of the problem. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |
