Using the Hybrid-GPS
• Better GPS satellite wave reception can be attained by
holding the camera still with the GPS antenna pointed
towards the sky.
• Since GPS satellites are constantly moving, your location,
the time of day, and other conditions may cause it to take
some time before positioning can be performed. In some
cases, positioning may not be possible.
• Good reception is not possible in the locations listed below due to blockage or
reflection of GPS satellite waves. For good wave reception, move outside where
there is an unobstructed path to the sky above.
– Inside of a building or underground
– Among high-rise buildings
– Under an overhead structure
– Inside of a tunnel
– Near high-voltage wires
– Inside of dense foliage
• When carrying the camera around, do not place it into a metal case. A metal
enclosure makes it impossible for the camera to receive GPS satellite waves.
• Nearby magnetic and metal can cause sensor errors. Keep the camera as far away
as possible from magnets and metal.
• Nearby mobile phones and other devices that use the 1.5GHz band radio waves
can interfere with the camera’s GPS satellite wave reception.
• Depending on wave conditions, GPS satellite positioning is subject to error of
hundreds of meters.
• When you are in a location where the camera is unable to receive GPS satellite
waves, positioning accuracy may be relatively lower than in locations where waves
can be received.
• Reception may take a number of minutes the first time you perform GPS satellite
wave reception after purchasing the camera, after the camera was continually in an
area where satellite wave reception was impossible for a long time, or after leaving
the camera without a battery loaded for a long time.
