Using GPS Function Places With Poor GPS Coverage

•Location information may not be recorded, or inaccurate information may be recorded where GPS signal coverage is poor, such as in the following places.

zIndoors zunderground znear buildings or in valleys zin tunnels or forests znear high-voltage power lines or mobile phones operating on the 1.5 GHz band zinside a bag or suitcase zunderwater zwhen traveling across great distances zwhen traveling through different environments

•Even in other places, GPS satellite movement may interfere with geotagging and cause missing or inaccurate location information, or the information may indicate that the camera has been used elsewhere even if it has not.

•GPS signal reception may take longer after battery replacement, or when you have not used GPS functions for some time.
