GPS
Cannot perform positioning.
●
When [GPS Setting] is set to [OFF]. (→258)
●
Depending on the recording environment, such as when indoors or near buildings, it may not be
possible to correctly receive the signals from the GPS satellites. (→257)
→ When using the GPS, we recommend holding the camera still for a while with the GPS antenna
facing upward in an outdoor location where you can see the entire sky.
The GPS status indicator lights up while the camera is turned off.
●
[GPS Setting] is [ON].
→ Electromagnetic waves from the camera can affect instruments and meters. In airplane cabins
(during takeoff and landing) or in other restricted areas, set [Airplane Mode] to [ON], and then
turn off the camera. (→264)
Positioning takes time.
●
When using the camera for the first time or after not using it for a while, positioning may take several
minutes.
●
Positioning usually takes less than two minutes, but because the positions of the GPS satellites
change, it may take longer depending on the recording location and environment.
→ Positioning can be executed faster when you download GPS assist data to the camera using the
“GPS Assist Tool”. (→266)
●
Positioning will take time in environments where it is difficult to receive the signals from the GPS
satellites. (→257)
The location name information is different from the recording location.
●
Immediately after the camera is turned on or when the GPS icon is something other than [ ], the
location name information that is recorded in the camera may vary significantly from the current
position.
●
When [ ] is displayed for the location name information, the information can be changed to a
different candidate before starting to record. (→263)
You can edit a place name or landmark name recorded in a picture. (→173)
The location name information is not displayed.
●
“- - -” is displayed if there is no nearby landmark or other points, or no information registered in the
camera’s database. (→260)
→ During playback, a location name or other information can be entered with [Place-Name Edit].
