• Only when is displayed on the capture mode screen, GPS information will be recorded onto images.

However, in the following situations GPS information obtained prior to the shooting may be recorded.

•When doing interval shooting

•When the camera fails to determine its position because it has been moved to a location where it cannot receive GPS signals

•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.

•For a movie, the GPS information obtained at the start of recording is

recorded.

•For divided movie files, the GPS information before dividing is displayed.

•For a movie with a title picture, the GPS information of the movie is displayed.

•When shooting in (Interval Shot) mode, GPS information may not be recorded onto images.

•The direction information obtained from the electronic compass measurements is also recorded at the time of shooting when GPS location information can be obtained from GPS satellites.
