Recording GPS Data on Pictures

When the GPS Unit (available separately) is connected, signals from GPS satellites are received and the current position information (latitude and longitude) can be calculated and recorded on the pictures to be shot.

•To use the built-in flash, do not attach the GPS Unit to the accessory shoe.

•To start recording the location information, set Record GPS data in GPS options to On (default setting) (E87).

•Operate in an open-air area when starting to receive signals from GPS satellites.
