Positioning takes a
long time.
1)The first positioning operation you perform with the camera
after you purchase it, immediately after changing the “GPS”
setting from “Off” to “On”, or after not using it for a long time
may take a number of minutes to complete.
2)Normally, a positioning operation should take around
10 seconds. However, changes in the positions of the GPS
satellites, as well as the shooting location and environment
can cause it to take longer.
3)Positioning may take longer than normal in environments
where GPS satellite wave reception is poor (page 97).
The position
reading is off.
1)Depending on wave conditions, GPS satellite positioning is
subject to error of hundreds of meters.
2)Performing positioning in an environment where it is difficult
to receive GPS satellite waves and where the motion sensor
is being influenced by magnetism can result in large errors in
positioning readings.
3)Performing positioning for a long time with the motion sensor
in an environment where it is difficult to receive GPS satellite
waves can cause large errors in the positioning readings.
There is large error
in direction
information.
1)The camera may be being affected by magnetism. Perform
direction sensor accuracy adjustment (page 106). Also, move
the camera away from sources of magnetism and from metal.
2)The direction sensor may not be able to perform direction
measurements under any of the following conditions.
• Immediately after “On” is selected for the “GPS” setting
(page 92)
• Immediately after loading the battery and turning on the
camera
The place name is
different from the
location where I
shoot an image.
This can happen immediate after you turn on the camera, when
the GPS wave condition icon (page 93) shows (wave
condition poor), or when there are major differences between
you current location and the place name data stored in camera
memory. If this happens, select “- - -” (blank) for the place name
(page 94).
No place name
appears on the
camera screen.
1)There may not be a landmark near your current location.
2)There may not be a name in the camera’s built-in place name
data in the vicinity of your current location. This will be
indicated by “- - -” (blank) appearing on the screen in place of
place name candidates (page 95).
