Low power mode (green)

There will be a fraction of a second delay from the

moment you press the shutter release button half way

until the camera is ready to geotag the photo. Therefore

you must wait until the green light is lit before taking your

photo. A beep coincides with the green light, meaning

that there is no need to take your eye from the camera

viewfinder to know that the camera is ready.

You will notice that in the low power mode, your camera

will happily leave its high power metering state when it

has seen no activity for a period of time. This is the

reason for the significantly increased battery life whilst in

the low power mode, because the camera uses only a

tiny amount of power in its standby state.

Note that the GPS module within the GeoPic II is

constantly on during the low power mode, so the power

consumed by the GeoPic II does not change. Power is

reduced by allowing the camera to enter standby state.

The following figures represent typical photo counts you

can expect in low power mode. Bear in mind that these

numbers will depend on your shooting style and camera

setup:
