Calibration

Calibration is the operation to get the
electronic com

Always perform this before using the GPS
unit.

As the Earth's magneti c field varies
depending on the shooting location, precise
calibration must also be performed at each

location when shooting images

of
astronomical objec ts with the
ASTROTRACER function,
