Using GPS Function
Camera location information (latitude, longitude, and elevation) based on signals acquired from GPS satellites can be added to the still images and movies you shoot, or this information can be logged separately. In addition to geotagging, the camera clock can be updated automatically.
Before using GPS functions, make sure the date, time, and home time zone on the camera are set correctly, as described in “Setting the Date and Time” (=16).
When using GPS functions, keep the following points in mind.
• In certain countries and regions, the use of GPS may be restricted. Therefore, be sure to use GPS in accordance with the laws and regulations of your country or region. Be particularly careful when traveling outside your home country.
•Be careful about using GPS features where the operation of electronic devices is restricted, because the camera will receive GPS signals.
•Others may be able to locate or identify you by using location data in your geotagged still images or movies. Be careful when sharing these images or GPS log files with others, as when posting images online where many others can view them.
• GPS: Global Positioning System

How to Carry the Camera When Using the Logger Function
