Appendix
Using the GPS
Set the [GPS On/Off] to [On] for receiving GPS information (latitude,
longitude, altitude, date and time etc.).
The GPS function needs to be always activated to embed GPS
information on an image (p.228), record it to the camera as a log (p.230),
save it to the SD Memory Card as a log file (p.232), and correct the
camera clock automatically (p.236).

Preparation for Using the GPS Function
When [GPS On/Off] is set to [On], the camera performs positioning
regularly even while the camera power is off, which reduces the
battery life.
Estimated battery life: Approx. 60 hr.
(When receiving GPS information continuously with [GPS On/Off] set
to [On], [Logging Interval] set to [15sec.], and the camera turned off.)
Before changing the battery, set [GPS On/Off] to [Off].
