Recording GPS Data with Pictures (Only XP150/160)
To record GPS data with new pictures, press the GPS
button to display the GPS menu and select one of
the following options for LOCATION SEARCH:
• T PERMANENTLY ON: The camera continues to update GPS data for up to
3 hours after being turned o . The camera will be quicker to display GPS
data when turned on, but the drain on the battery will increase. Note that
GPS data is not updated at battery levels of
B or below.
• U WHEN SWITCHED ON: The camera updates GPS data only when on. The cam-
era may need some time to acquire GPS data when turned on. This option is
selected automatically at battery levels of B and below.
R GPS works best outdoors under clear skies.
During shooting, GPS data are displayed in the monitor as
shown at right. Signal strength is indicated by the number
of bars; O is displayed when the camera is searching for a
signal, Q if the camera is in GPS demo mode, and P if no
signal is detected. The current location is shown by a place
name or (if no place name is available) by the longitude
and latitude.
R The display of GPS information can be turned o by selecting OFF for LOCATION
INFO (P 32).
