Recording using the GPS function

About the “GPS”

GPS is an abbreviation of [Global Positioning System], which is a system that allows you to check your position utilizing GPS satellites.

Calculating the current position by receiving radio waves including orbit information and clock information from multiple GPS satellites is called positioning.

This unit is also compatible with the “GLONASS” satellite positioning system operated by the Russian government.

The unit can record location name information and latitude/longitude for the recorded image and automatically correct the time.

Your Panasonic Lumix digital still camera is GPS-equipped which can automatically record the precise location coordinates of where the photo was taken. The specific physical address of this location can easily be derived from this information.

If you upload such “geotagged” photos to the Internet, a social networking site or any other electronic media, the precise location of where the photo was taken will remain embedded in the photo and can be viewed by others.

Therefore, when taking digital still photos, care should be taken in determining whether you wish to have the GPS feature enabled or disabled.

Receiving signals from GPS satellites

It is recommended to use by holding the camera still for a while at an outdoor location clear to the sky, with the antenna pointed upward.

Radio waves from GPS satellites cannot be received properly at the following locations, so the positioning may not be possible or a significant error may occur.

Indoor/underground or underwater/in the woods/traveling in a train or a car etc./close to or between buildings/close to high voltage lines/inside a tunnel/close to mobile phones working on 1.5 GHz band etc.

Do not cover the GPS antenna with your hands etc.

Do not carry the unit inside a metallic case or similar when positioning. Positioning is not possible when the unit is covered by metal etc.
