About the “GPS”
Receiving signals from GPS satellites
It is recommended to use by holding the camera still for a while at an outdoor location clear 
to the sky, with the antenna pointed upward.
Radio waves from GPS satellites cannot be received properly at the following locations, so the 
positioning may not be possible or a significant error may occur.
Indoor/underground or underwater/in the woods/traveling in a train or a car etc./close to or 
between buildings/close to high voltage lines/inside a tunnel/close to mobile phones working on 
1.5 GHz band etc.
Do not cover the GPS antenna with your hands etc.
Do not carry the unit inside a metallic case or similar when positioning. Positioning is not possible 
when the unit is covered by metal etc.
GPS is an abbreviation of [Global Positioning System], which is a system that allows you to 
check your position utilizing GPS satellites.
Calculating the current position by receiving radio waves including orbit information and clock 
information from multiple GPS satellites is called positioning.
This unit is also compatible with the “GLONASS” satellite positioning system operated by the 
Russian government.
The unit can record location name information and latitude/longitude for the recorded image 
and automatically correct the time.
