Acquiring GPS Signals
202
If [Enable] is selected, <r> will still be displayed on the LCD panel
even when you turn the camera’s power switch to <2>. Also, since
the camera will receive GPS signals at regular intervals, the battery will
drain quickly and the number of possible shots will decrease. If you will
not use the camera for a prolonged period, set to [Disable].
The GPS antenna is built-in around the hot shoe. Although the GPS
signal can be acquired while an external Speedlite is attached to the hot
shoe, the acquisition sensitivity will slightly decrease.
GPS Receiver GP-E2 (sold separately) cannot be used.
Poor GPS Coverage
Under the following conditions, the GPS satellite signal will not be properly
acquired. As a result, the geotag information may not be recorded or
inaccurate geotag information may be recorded.
Indoors, underground, in tunnels or forests, between buildings, or in
valleys.
Near high-voltage power lines or mobile phones operating on the 1.5
GHz band.
The camera is left inside a bag, etc.
When traveling a long distance.
When traveling through different environments.
Since GPS satellites move as time passes, satellite movement can
interfere with geotagging and cause missing or inaccurate geotag
information even in conditions other than the above. Additionally, the
geotag information may also include the route travelled even if the
camera was used only at one location.
The camera can receive GPS signals even in the vertical orientation.
