Activate GPS on KS2

chougrani · 01-30-2016, 10:44 AM

Hi
I have a pentax KS2 and I try to activate the GPS but there is no signal. The GPS is supposed to be integrated in camera, I think.
Any help?

Other question, if you have tutorial to use the astrotracer.

Best Regards

The K-S2 doesn't have integrated GPS. Are you confusing it with the K-3 II?

Yup, you need the O-GPS1 for GPS functionality. The K-S2 does have built-in wi-fi, however.

The only Pentax camera (as of this writing) with the GPS integrated into it is the Pentax K-3 II, & I expect the much awaited FF - K-1 to have it too.
