About the GPS

Positioning is not possible.

Positioning takes time.

•It may take a few minutes the first time you use it or when it has not been used for a while.

•Positioning is performed within 2 minutes normally, but since the position of the GPS satellites change, it may take longer depending on the location or environment of the recording.

•It will take longer for positioning in an environment where it is harder to receive the radio waves from the GPS satellites. (P114)

Location name information is different from the place the picture was recorded in.

•Straight after the power is turned on, or when the GPS icon is not set to [ ], current location and location name information stored in the unit may differ significantly.
