Notes on
GPS
• After about
two
hours
of
positioning or ifthe battery
has
been changed, it will take several minutes
to
obtain the positional information.
• Positions
of
the
GPS
satellites change constantly.
You
may
not
be able
to
determine the position or
it may take some
time
depending on your location and the time.
Use
GPS
in
an
open
space
whenever possible. Receiving
of
signals will be smoother if
the
GPS
antenna
(~7)
is
facing the
sky.
• The following locations
will
block or reflect signals, resulting in failed or inaccurate positioning.
- Inside buildings or at the basement
of
bUildings
- Between high-rise buildings
- Under overpasses
- Inside tunnels
- Near high-voltage electrical power lines
- Between clusters
of
trees
• Using a mobile phone
of
1.5
GHz
band near this camera may disrupt positioning.
• When carrying this camera around while positioning,
do
not
place it in a metal bag. Positioning
cannot be done
if
the camera
is
covered in metal materials.
•
GPS
satellites may have a margin error
of
several hundred meters depending on the positioning
environment.
•
Be
aware
of
your surroundings when positioning.
• If
Record
GPS
data
is
set to On, positioning will be done every
90
minutes for
six
times
when
the
camera
is
turned off. During positioning, the power-on lamp will blink. The
monitor
will
not
light
up. Positioning will cancel if three minutes
pass
and positioning cannot be done.
• The date
of
the camera's internal clock at the
time
of
shooting
is
recorded in the date
of
recording
and
time
of
recording indicators displayed on the camera during playback. The
time
obtained by
the positional information recorded on images will
not
be displayed on the camera.
• Positional information will be recorded on the first frame
of
pictures shot using Continuous
(~140)
or Auto bracketing
(~143).
In
continuous shooting, the positional information will
not
be
recorded for pictures taken after the valid storage period
has
ended.
• Positional information cannot be recorded
onto
movies.
• The Geodetic system for this camera's
GPS
function
uses
the
WGS
84
(World Geodetic System
1984).
