Appendix
Do not swing or twirl the camera while changing your grip on it.
If calibration is unsuccessful, face in a different direction and/or slightly
change the angle of grip, and then try calibration again.
The electronic compass may not show the proper direction due to the
passing of time, or the change of the camera location. We recommend
periodically calibrating the camera.
Calibration can be done regardless of the GPS signal reception status.
At locations that are strongly affected by environmental magnetism, it
may be difficult to achieve successful calibration, or the electronic
compass may not show the proper direction even if calibration is
completed. The same may result when the camera is calibrated
indoors.
At locations that are affected by geomagnetism, such as in volcanic
regions, it may be difficult to achieve successful calibration, or the
electronic compass may not show the proper direction even if
calibration is completed.
If you cannot calibrate the camera within one minute of rotating the
camera in three directions, the process will fail and the message
[Cannot process correctly] appears. If this happens, try calibration
again.
This part applies only to the RICOH WG-4 GPS camera
