What is GPS?

GPS is an abbreviation for Global Positioning System, which enables people to find their locations using GPS satellites.

Receiving signals that contain orbit information and time information from multiple satellites to calculate one’s current location is referred to as “Positioning”.

This camera can perform positioning when it receives signals from three or more GPS satellites.

To ensure successful positioning

●When using the GPS, we recommend holding the camera still for a while with the GPS antenna facing upward in an outdoor location where you can see the entire sky.

●In the following types of locations, it may not be possible to correctly receive the signals from the GPS satellites. In such cases, positioning may not be possible, or significant positioning discrepancy may occur.

• Indoors • Underground or underwater (when using a marine case) • In forests

• When in a moving vehicle, such as a car or train • Near buildings or in valleys

• Near high-voltage power lines • In tunnels • Near 1.5 GHz mobile phones, etc. ●Do not cover the GPS antenna with your hands or anything else.

●If you are carrying the camera during positioning, do not carry it in a metal carrier or similar container. Positioning cannot be performed when the camera is covered by a material such as metal.
