2 Check the reception status.
Use the camera outside, where there is
an unobstructed view of the sky. (GPS
functions will not work correctly indoors or
in other areas away from GPS coverage
(“Places With Poor GPS Coverage”
(=
40)).)
Check GPS reception status as shown on
the screen.

Reception Status Display
(on) GPS signal received. Location can be recorded.*
(blinking) Looking for GPS signal.*
(on) No GPS signal.
* When you have activated the logger (=
41), [ ] is also displayed.
Tips When [ ] is Displayed
• When GPS signal reception is not possible indoors or in other places
away from coverage (“Places With Poor GPS Coverage” (=
40)), try
going outside where there is an unobstructed view of the sky. Hold the
camera correctly (=
39) and point the GPS antenna up at the sky.
• [ ] will normally be displayed within a few minutes when the camera is
used in areas with ample GPS coverage, such as outdoor areas with an
unobstructed view of the sky. If [ ] is not displayed, move to an area
without obstructions (such as buildings) between the camera and GPS
satellites and wait a few minutes until it appears.
Places With Poor GPS Coverage
• Location information may not be recorded, or inaccurate information may
be recorded where GPS signal coverage is poor, such as in the following
places.
●
Indoors
●
underground
●
near buildings or in valleys
●
in tunnels or
forests
●
near high-voltage power lines or mobile phones operating on the
1.5 GHz band
●
inside a bag or suitcase
●
under water (when the camera
is used in an optional waterproof case (=
157))
●
when traveling across
great distances
●
when traveling through different environments
• Even in other places, GPS satellite movement may interfere with
geotagging and cause missing or inaccurate location information, or the
information may indicate that the camera has been used elsewhere even
if it has not.
Time Required to Receive a GPS Signal
• GPS signal reception may take longer after battery replacement, or when
you have not used GPS functions for some time.
• You can shorten the time required to receive a GPS signal by using Wi-Fi
to store Assisted GPS data (information on the position of GPS satellites)
(=
44).
