Using the Hybrid-GPS
. Using the camera in another country
• Certain countries or areas may place restrictions on the use of GPS and/or the
accumulation of positioning log data. This camera has a built-in GPS function.
Before taking it to another country, be sure to check with the appropriate embassy
or with your travel agent to find out if bringing in a camera with a GPS function and/
or accumulation of position information log data is allowed in that country.
• Recommended photogenic spots are provided for reference only, and there is no
guarantee that you will be able to get to a site or that it will be simple to get to a site.
Before entering a mountainous, jungle, desert, or other dangerous area or any
area where your personal safety may be at risk, be sure to obtain the latest news
about regulations, restrictions, safety, and other important information.
. Hybrid-GPS operation while the camera is turned off
• When “On” is selected for the “GPS” setting, the Hybrid-GPS continues to operate
and periodically performs positioning to determine your current location, even when
the camera is turned off. Whenever you need to completely turn off the camera and
disable positioning (such as during aircraft takeoffs and landings), be sure to
change the “GPS” setting to “Off” (page 92) and then turn off the camera.
• Also note that battery power continues to be consumed if the camera is turned off
while “On” is selected for the “GPS” setting.
. Not using the camera for a long time
• For the first GPS wave reception after you have not used the camera for a long
time or after leaving the camera without the battery loaded for a long time,
positioning will take longer than normal to complete.
. Immediate position correction
• Because camera’s autonomous positioning uses an accelerometer and a direction
sensor for positioning, the Hybrid-GPS function can become unstable where there
is severe magnetic disturbance (on a train, in a motor vehicle), or where there is
severe movements (inside of a bag, etc.). Whenever the camera judges that
autonomous positioning is unstable, it performs immediate GPS wave reception
and corrects positioning.
