Even if GPS reception is good, it will take approx. 2 to 3 minutes to successfully execute positioning in the following cases:

••When positioning is executed for the first time ••When [GPS Setting] was set to [OFF]

••When [Airplane Mode] was set to [ON] and the camera was turned off (→264) ••When the battery was removed

Positioning can be executed faster when you download GPS assist data to the camera using the “GPS Assist Tool”. (→266)
