Synchronize the Camera Clock with GPS Time

All times used during an aerial photography mission are to be in Universal Coordinated

Time (UCT) which is also referred to as Zulu time. This is the time at zero longitude.

The Garmin etrex GPS will already be setup to show UCT time unless someone has

changed it to local time. On the east coast of the US, local time is 5 hours earlier than

UCT during winter months and 4 hours earlier during daylight savings time. Therefore,

the time shown on the GPS should be later than local time by either 4 or 5 hours.

The camera will show the time zone as London, Casablanca UTC 0. See next page.

Synchronize the camera and etrex times as follows:

Button

Cursor

Control

Photo View

Button

Delete Button

Go to a place with an unobstructed view overhead.

Take the etrex and camera with you. Turn on the etrex

GPS. Push the Page Button several times until the

SkyView page appears. Wait until the status message

“Ready to Navigate” appears.

Push the Page Button several

times until the Main Menu screen appears.

The time will appear at the bottom of the eTrex Main Menu page. Keep this display

active while the camera is set to the same time.

Push the camera menu button. Press the Multi Selector left button and then press the up

and/or down buttons until the “Setup Menu” appears. Press the right button. Press the up

and/or down buttons until “World Time” is highlighted. Press the right button to bring up

the “World Time” screen. Press the up and/or down buttons to highlight “Date and

Time”. Press the right button to bring up the “World Time Date and Time” screen. Use

the right button to scroll through the settings while using the up and down buttons to set

Year, Month and Day and then Hour, Minutes and Seconds. Set the time a minute faster

than etrex time. Look at the etrex screen. Once the minute increases to agree with the

D90, press the D90 OK button. Return to the World Time screen (time is at the bottom)

to check that the etrex and camera are now time-synchronized.

The Camera and GPS are now ready for an aerial photo mission

Turn the camera off when you are done using it!

[Turn Camera off –See shutter switch on top right of camera]

1.2 AMOD Data Tracker

Install fresh batteries as follows:

1. Remove the back cover

2. Install three AA batteries as shown.

The AMOD Tracker can use either rechargeable or non-

rechargeable batteries. If rechargeable batteries are used, they

must be charged with an external battery charger.

Fresh batteries will provide approximately 15 hours of use.

Power pushbutton

Take the Data Tracker outside to a place with a clear view overhead. Turn the device on

by depressing the power pushbutton for one second. The three status lights will illuminate

briefly then turn off. The green GPS status light will light continuously until a fix is

obtained. The GPS status light will then blink continuously.

GPS acquisition may take several minutes or more.

The amber Battery Power light will blink when the battery has less than 20% capacity

left.

The red Storage light comes on when the memory is full. When that happens, no further

data logging is possible. At this point the log must be downloaded to a computer and the

memory cleared.

It is recommended that the memory be cleared before each flight but only after the data

logs for previous flights have been downloaded or considered no longer required.

See the following for how to clear the memory.

Clear the memory by holding the Mark button down for 5 seconds. All

three status lights will illuminate sequentially. After all three lights have

blinked in sequence, release the mark button. The track memory should

now be erased.

Mark Button

It is also possible to erase the memory when the device is connected to a

computer via its USB cable. See the AMOD manual for more detail.
