GPS AND GEOTAGGING (Adding location information to pictures)
The Global Position System enables the current position of the
receiver to be determined worldwide. When this function is
activated, the Leica SL continuously receives the corresponding
signals and updates the position data. The camera writes this
information - latitude and longitude, height above sea level - to the
"EXIF" data.
Setting the function
1. In the menu’s
SETUP section, select GPS, and
2. switch the function
On or Off.
The "satellite" symbol (
), only visible in the picture data display
symbol in the monitor indicates the current status:
–
Position last determined a maximum of 6 min ago
–
Position last determined a maximum of 24hrs ago
–
Position last determined at least 24hrs ago, or no position
data available
Notes:
• The prerequisite for GPS positioning is to have as clear a view as
possible of at least three GPS satellites (out of the total of 24, up
to 9 are available from every location on earth). We therefore
recommend holding the camera with the GPS antenna pointing
vertically upwards.
• Make sure that the GPS antenna is not covered with your hand
or any other item, particularly metal objects.
• It may not be possible to receive good signals from GPS
satellites at the following locations or in the following situations.
In such cases, either no positioning at all or only inaccurate
positioning is possible.
– Closed rooms
– Underground
– Under trees
– In a moving vehicle
– Close to tall buildings or in steep valleys
– Close to high voltage cables
– In tunnels
– Close to mobile telephones
– With accessories attached in the flash shoe, e.g. a flash unit
• This menu item can be assigned to the
