Using the Hybrid-GPS
Using the Hybrid-GPS
In addition to conventional Global Positioning System (GPS) system capabilities that
determine your current location and time based on radio waves it picks up from GPS
satellites, your EXILIM camera also features a built-in independent motion sensor
employing autonomous positioning technology that uses a 3-axis bearing sensor and
a 3-axis accelerometer. These two capabilities combine to create a Hybrid-GPS that
provides position information (latitude and longitude), even indoors, underground,
and in areas where GPS satellite waves cannot be received.
The Hybrid-GPS supports all of the following capabilities.
• Recording current location information (latitude, longitude, camera aiming
direction) with image data (snapshots and movies)
• Recording current location name with image data (snapshots and movies)
• Direct stamping of the recording location name in an image (snapshots)
• Display of recorded images and location on a map
• When traveling, searching for photogenic spots near your current location
• Tracking your movements on a map
• Automatic updating of the camera’s clock based on GPS satellite wave data
A Global Positioning System (GPS) uses radio waves sent from GPS satellites
orbiting the Earth to calculated positions anywhere on the globe. Signals from GPS
satellites can be used to determine a person’s current location and the current time
at that location.
