Starting GPS Data Recording

BNotes on GPS

•Before using the GPS functions, read “Notes on GPS Functions” of “<Important> Shockproof, Waterproof, Dustproof, Condensation, GPS” (Axvii).

•It takes a few minutes to obtain position information when positioning is performed for the first time or in a situation where positioning cannot be performed for a long period of time, or just after the battery is replaced.

•Positions of the GPS satellites change constantly.

You may not be able to determine the position or it may take some time depending on your location and the time.

To use the GPS feature, use the camera in an open-air area with few obstacles in the sky. Signal receiving will be smoother if the GPS antenna (A1) is facing the sky.

•The following locations which block or reflect signals may result in failed or inaccurate positioning.

-Inside buildings or underground locations

-Between high-rise buildings

-Under overpasses

-Inside tunnels

-Near high-voltage electrical power lines

-Between clusters of trees

-Underwater

•Using a mobile phone of 1.5 GHz band near this camera may disrupt positioning.

•When carrying this camera around while positioning, do not place it in a metal bag. Positioning cannot be performed if the camera is covered with metal materials.

•When there is a significant difference in the signals from the GPS satellites, there could be a deviation of up to several hundred meters.

•Be aware of your surroundings when positioning.

•The shooting date and time that is displayed when playing back images is determined by the camera’s internal clock at the time of shooting.

The time obtained by the position information and recorded on images will not be displayed on the camera.

•The position information for the first frame will be recorded on a series of pictures shot using continuous shooting.

BBattery Drain While Recording GPS Data and Log Recording

•When Record GPS data is set to On, GPS functions will continue to operate at the specified interval for approximately 6 hours even after the camera is turned off. Also, GPS functions and log recording will continue to operate while recording logs (A89) even after the camera is turned off.

•When Record GPS data is set to On or while recording logs, the battery power will drain faster than usual. Confirm the battery level especially when the camera is recording altitude log or water depth log.
