•The log files can be saved on the SD Memory Card only (you cannot save them in the built-in memory).

•Up to 999 log files or to the full capacity of the SD Memory Card can be saved.

• The information saved in log files is latitude, longitude, altitude and date and time.

•The log files cannot be displayed on the camera. Transfer them to a computer and use the software that supports files in the KML format such as Google Earth or Google Maps.

•[GPS Time Sync] can be set only when [GPS On/Off] is set to [On].

Adjusting the Electronic Compass (Calibration)

Calibration is the process of making adjustments to a device in order to obtain accurate information. Always calibrate the electronic compass before using it.

1Use the four-way controller (23) to select [Electronic Compass] in the [WSetting] menu.

2Press the four-way controller (5) twice.

The [Calibration] screen appears.

• Do not swing or twirl the camera while changing your grip on it.

•If calibration is unsuccessful, face in a different direction and/or slightly change the angle of grip, and then try calibration again.

•The electronic compass may not show the proper direction due to the passing of time, or the change of the camera location. We recommend periodically calibrating the camera.

•Calibration can be done regardless of the GPS signal reception status.

•At locations that are strongly affected by environmental magnetism, it may be difficult to achieve successful calibration, or the electronic compass may not show the proper direction even if calibration is completed. The same may result when the camera is calibrated indoors.

•At locations that are affected by geomagnetism, such as in volcanic regions, it may be difficult to achieve successful calibration, or the electronic compass may not show the proper direction even if calibration is completed.

•If you cannot calibrate the camera within one minute of rotating the camera in three directions, the process will fail and the message [Cannot process correctly] appears. If this happens, try calibration again.
