8 Appendix

•When [GPS On/Off] is set to [On], the camera performs positioning regularly even while the camera power is off, which reduces the battery life.

Estimated battery life: Approx. 60 hr.

(When receiving GPS information continuously with [GPS On/Off] set to [On], [Logging Interval] set to [15sec.], and the camera turned off.)

•Before changing the battery, set [GPS On/Off] to [Off].
