Changing GPS Settings (GPS Menu)

Set Record GPS data to On in the GPS menu to change the valid storage period for recording positional information onto a picture or manually update the positional information. You can also use the signal transmission from the GPS satellites to set the date/time of the built-in clock in the camera.

Valid Storage Period

If a picture is shot while positioning cannot be done, the last positional information will be recorded onto the picture. As a result, a margin of error will occur between the shooting location and the recorded positional information.

Set Valid storage period to reduce the margin of error with the shooting location. Choose the valid storage period from 15 seconds or less, 30 seconds or less, 1 minute or less (default setting), 5 minutes or less, 15 minutes or less, 30 minutes or less, 60 minutes or less, or 2 hours or less.

If positioning cannot be done after the valid storage period has ended, the positional information will not be recorded onto the picture. (The valid storage period is timed by the camera's internal clock. If the date/time of the internal clock is changed, the timing of the valid storage period may be wrong for a short period of time.)

Update GPS Data

Positioning is updated automatically, but Update GPS data can be used to update manually. Using this feature may enable the time taken for obtaining the positional information to be reduced if long distances have been travelled or a long period of time has passed since the last positional information obtained.
