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].
