Acquisition Status

1 2 GPS L 100 0000

GPS signal status is indicated by the icon on the camera's rear LCD panel.

Status details can be checked as described in "Viewing GPS Information" on the next page.

Blinking : Signal not acquired yet

Constant : Signal acquired Images are geotagged when you shoot.

• Signal acquisition takes about 30 – 60 seconds under favorable conditions after you turn the camera on.
  ● After initial signal acquisition, signals can be reacquired soon after the camera is turned on again (under favorable conditions, and when the camera has been off for less than approx. 30 minutes).

Places with Poor GPS Coverage

Location information may not be recorded, or inaccurate information may be recorded where GPS signal coverage is poor, such as in the following places.

• • Indoors, underground, in tunnels or forests, near buildings or in valleys
    ● Near high-voltage power lines or mobile phones operating on the 1.5 GHz band
• When traveling through different environments
• Even in other places, GPS satellite movement may interfere with geotagging and cause missing or inaccurate location information. The information may also indicate that the camera has been used in a different location, even if you were shooting at the same place.

Appended Information

- If shooting is performed immediately after turning on the camera's power switch (or resuming use after auto power off) when the receiver is attached to the camera, images may not be geotagged. Similarly, directions may not be recorded correctly. To avoid this, wait a moment before shooting.
