Reading location information from a smartphone
You can use the application Creators' App to obtain location information from a smartphone that is connected with your

Location information can be linked when Creators' App is running on your smartphone even if the smartphone monitor is off.
However, if the camera has been turned off for a while, location information may not be linked immediately when you turn the

information linking.
If the location information linking function does not work properly, see the following notes and perform pairing again.

communication. (Up to 2 devices can be connected to the camera at the same time.)
