Q&A Troubleshooting
GPS (continued)
Positioning takes time.
●●When using the camera for the first time or after not using it for a while, positioning may take several minutes.
●●Positioning usually takes less than two minutes, but because the positions of the GPS satellites change, it may take longer depending on the recording location and environment.
→ Positioning can be executed faster when you download GPS assist data to the camera using the “GPS Assist Tool”. (→141)
●●Positioning will take time in environments where it is difficult to receive the signals from the GPS satellites. (→128)
The location name information is different from the recording location.
●●Immediately after the camera’s power is turned on or when the GPS icon is something other than
, the location name information that is recorded in the camera may vary significantly from the current position.
●●When 
is displayed for the location name information, the information can be changed to a different candidate before starting to record. (→136)
●●You can edit a place name or landmark name recorded in a picture.
The location name information is not displayed.
●●“- -
→During playback, a location name or other information can be entered with [Edit Place Name]. (→138)
Map
Cannot display detailed maps.
●●Use the “LUMIX Map Tool” software on the DVD (supplied) to copy map data from the DVD. (→150)
Some place names are not displayed.
●●Detailed maps are displayed when you copy map data from the DVD (supplied). (→150) (Note, however, that not all place names are stored in the DVD.)
●●Place names may not be displayed for some map scale settings. → Enlarge the map scale.
It takes time to copy the map data.
●●Since the map data size is large, it may take time to copy the map data. We recommend copying the map data of a required area only.
●●When you copy map data by connecting the camera to the computer, it may take longer than the time required for copying the data using the commercially available card reader/writer.
Recording
Cannot record pictures.
●●REC/PLAY switch is not set to 
(record).
Recorded pictures look white. ●●Lens is dirty (fingerprints, etc.).
→Turn on power to extract lens barrel, and clean lens surface with a soft, dry cloth. ●●Lens is foggy (→6).
Recorded pictures are too bright/too dark. ●●Adjust the exposure (→71).
●●[Min. Shtr Speed] is set to fast speed. Check the setting (→102).
