The same number of icons as the number of
the GPS satellites (from which radio signals are
successfully received) stop flashing and light (blue).
If the three bars of the GPS reception icon do not
light and the icon turns off, it means that positioning

Time elapsed after successful positioning
Less than 5 minutes
5 minutes to 1 hour have elapsed.
1 hour to 2 hours have elapsed.
2 hours or more have elapsed.
No positioning information has been acquired.
Even if GPS reception is good, it will take approx. 2 to 3 minutes to
successfully execute positioning in the following cases:
• When positioning is executed for the first time
• When [GPS Setting] is set to [OFF]
• When [Airplane Mode] is set to [ON] and the camera is turned off
• While the battery is removed
Positioning can be executed faster when you download GPS assist data to the
camera using the “GPS Assist Tool”. (→141)
