Recording the Camera’s Location Information (Logger Function)

When the camera is turned off, it will continue to receive a signal from GPS satellites for a certain interval of time, and record the route taken. Based on the received signals, the location information and shooting date for a single day will be recorded in a GPS log file, separate from images. The log files can be used with the included software (p. 2) to view the route travelled on a map. Since this function consumes battery power even when the camera is off, the battery level may be lower than expected when using the camera. Charge the battery as necessary, or keep a charged spare battery (sold separately) with you for shooting.
