∫About the “GPS”

GPS is an abbreviation of [Global Positioning System], which is a system that allows you to check your position utilizing GPS satellites.

Calculating the current position by receiving radio waves including orbit information and clock information from multiple GPS satellites is called positioning.

The unit can record location name information and latitude/longitude for the recorded image and automatically correct the time.

∫Receiving signals from GPS satellites

•It is recommended to use by holding the camera still for a while at an outdoor location clear to the sky, with the antenna pointed upward.

•Radio waves from GPS satellites cannot be received properly at the following locations, so the positioning may not be possible or a significant error may occur.

–Indoor/underground or underwater/in the woods/traveling in a train or a car etc./close to or between buildings/close to high voltage lines/inside a tunnel/close to mobile phones working on 1.5 GHz band etc.

•Do not cover the GPS antenna with your hands etc.

•Do not carry the unit inside a metallic case or similar when positioning. Positioning is not possible when the unit is covered by metal etc.
