Using Location Data Functions/Displaying Maps
B Notes About Location Data Functions
• Before using the location data functions, read "<Important> Notes About Location
Data Functions (GPS/GLONASS, Electronic Compass)" (Axv).
• It takes a few minutes to calculate location data when positioning is performed for
the first time or after a long period in which positioning could not be performed, or
just after the battery is replaced.
• You can reduce the time for calculating location data by using the latest A-GPS file
(A110).
• Positions of the positioning satellites change constantly.
You may not be able to determine the position or it may take some time
depending on your location and the time.
To use the location data functions, use the camera in an open-air area with few
obstacles in the sky.
Signal receiving will be smoother if the positioning antenna (A1) is facing the sky.
• The following locations which block or reflect signals may result in failed or
inaccurate positioning.
- Inside buildings or underground locations
- Between high-rise buildings
- Under overpasses
- Inside tunnels
- Near high-voltage electrical power lines
- Between clusters of trees
-Underwater
• Using a mobile phone of 1.5 GHz band near this camera may disrupt positioning.
• When carrying this camera around while positioning, do not place it in a metal bag.
Positioning cannot be performed if the camera is covered with metal materials.
• When there is a significant difference in the signals from the positioning satellites,
there could be a deviation of up to several hundred meters.
• Be aware of your surroundings when positioning.
• The shooting date and time that is displayed when playing back images is
determined by the camera’s internal clock at the time of shooting.
The time at which the camera calculated the location data is recorded to images,
but it is not displayed on the camera screen.
• The location data for the first frame will be recorded on a series of images shot
using continuous shooting.
B Battery Drain While Recording Location Data and Log Recording
• When Record location data is set to On, record location data functions will continue
to operate at the specified interval for approximately six hours even after the camera is
turned off. Also, record location data functions and log recording will continue to
operate while recording logs (A141) even after the camera is turned off.
• When Record location data is set to On or while recording logs, the battery
power will drain faster than usual. Confirm the battery level especially when
recording a log using Start all logs or Start depth log.
