About GPS

■About the camera’s location name information

Before using the camera, read “User License Agreement for Location Name Data”. (→145)

■When [GPS Setting] is [ON], the GPS function works even if the camera’s power is off.

•Electromagnetic waves from the camera can affect instruments and meters. During airplane takeoff and landing or in other restricted area, set [GPS Setting] to [OFF] or , then turn the camera’s power off. (→76)

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

■Recording location information

•The names of recording locations and landmarks (such as buildings) are current as of December 2010. These will not be updated.

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

■Positioning

•Positioning will take time in environments where it is difficult to receive the signals from the GPS satellites. (→75)

•Even if GPS reception is good, it will take approximately 2 to 3 minutes to successfully execute positioning under the following conditions; when positioning is executed for the first time, or when positioning is executed after the camera is turned off with the [GPS Setting] set to and then turned on again or when [GPS Setting] is set to [OFF].

•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 December 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.
