Another side benefit of it, is that it can set the camera's clock to within a few nanoseconds, and it makes it easier to keep different camera's clocks synchronized. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com. sent from Mirkwood -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Yeah, and sometimes I don't realize that I want to remember where a photo was taken until some time later. Or, I'll just simply forget to use the phone to geotag. It can also be handy to use when looking for a particular photo. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com. sent from Mirkwood -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Pentax APS-C cameras
I don't NEED it, but if I have it built into the camera I don't have to fiddle with the phone whenever I want to use it. I don't use it often, but occasionally I'll want to know where I was (in more than a general way) when I took a photo.

Re: Pentax APS-C cameras
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think any of the APS-C cameras have built in GPS. According to Ricoh, the K-3/K-3 Mark III, K-5/K-5II/K-5IIs can take the O-GPS1 module - discontinued according to Ricoh, but if you don't already have it you can probably find one NOS or used at KEH ... They'll all do the GPS function & ASTROTRACER. On 1/19/2024 6:37 PM, Mark Roberts wrote: What is the most recent Pentax APS-C camera that has built-in GPS like the K-1?

Correction: the 55-300 PLM can be used on the K-3II with updated firmware. Henk Op 2024-01-21 om 11:33 schreef Henk Terhell: Good choice, saving the fuzz with handling of the coordinates.

Re: Pentax APS-C cameras
I have a clip-on O-GPS1 which can I use on my trusty K5. Very small & easy to use for GPS.
