Location Data

Track logs: Location data will be recorded with pictures taken while On is selected for Location data > Record location data (0 74). In addition, if Start is selected for Location data > Create log > Log location data in the setup menu (0 76), the camera continues to log location data even while off. Radio waves produced by the device may affect medical equipment and aircraft navigation systems; in situations in which the use of satellite navigation devices is restricted or prohibited, such as in hospitals or aircraft, be sure to select Off for Record location data and turn the camera off.

Sharing location data: Note that addresses and other personal information may be inferred from the location data stored in track logs or embedded in images. Exercise caution when sharing images and track logs or when posting them to the Internet or other locations where they can be viewed by third parties. See “Disposing of Data Storage Devices” (0 xiii) for information on erasing location data before disposing of the camera or memory cards.

Navigation: The position, altitude, and other location data reported by the device are approximations only and are not intended for surveying or navigation. Be sure to take appropriate maps or other navigational devices with you when using the product during such outdoor activities as mountain climbing or hiking.

Restrictions on use: The location data function may not perform as expected in some countries or regions, including (as of November, 2013) China and in the vicinity of the Chinese border. Some countries, including China, prohibit unauthorized use of satellite navigation and other location data devices; before travelling, check with your travel agent or the embassy or tourism board of the countries you will be visiting. Where use is prohibited, select Off for Record location data.
