About GPS

■About the camera’s location name information

Before using the camera, read “User License Agreement for Location Name Data”. (→165)

■The GPS function can be used even when the camera’s power is off.

When [GPS SETTING] is [ON], the GPS function works to check your current position periodically even if the camera’s power is OFF.

•When turning off the camera’s power in an airplane, hospital or other restricted area, set [GPS SETTING] to or [OFF]. (→85)

•When [GPS SETTING] is [ON], power will drain from the battery even if the camera’s power is OFF.

■Recording location information

•Recording location names and landmarks (such as building names) are current as of February 2010. These will not be updated.

•Depending on the country or area, limited location name and landmark information may be available.

■Positioning

Because the positions of the GPS satellites are constantly changing, depending on the recording location and conditions, it may not be possible to position such satellites accurately, or positioning discrepancy may occur.

■When using in another country

•GPS may not work in China or in the border regions of countries neighboring China. (Current as of February 2010)

•Some countries or regions may regulate the use of GPS or related technology. Because this camera has a GPS function, before taking it into another country, check with the embassy or your travel agency whether there are any restrictions on bringing cameras with a GPS function.
