If the GPS indicator does not become a
triangulating status indicator even after several
minutes, the camcorder is having trouble with
receiving GPS signals. You may start recording
if you do not need to record location
information, or go to a location with access to
the open sky.
The camcorder can hardly receive GPS signals
indoors or near tall buildings. Go to a location
with access to the open sky and turn on the GPS
switch again.
Even if the camcorder is turned off, the GPS
function is working as long as the GPS switch is
set to ON. Make sure that the GPS switch is set
to OFF during take off and landing of an
airplane.
Even if a triangulating status indicator is
displayed, the camcorder may not record the
GPS information continuously, depending on
the condition of GPS signal reception.
Fast moving subjects and actions, which
cannot be captured under the general
recording conditions, can be recorded in
smooth moving slow-motion.
This is useful for recording fast actions
such as a golf or tennis swing.
