Local geographic and atmospheric conditions may prevent or delay the acquisition of 
location data. The camera may be unable to receive location data indoors, underground, or 
in metal containers or the vicinity of bridges and other large structures, trees, power lines, or 
other objects that block or reflect satellite signals. Pay attention to your footing and 
surroundings when looking for locations with good reception. The positions of navigation 
satellites are continuously changing, preventing or delaying the acquisition of location data 
at certain hours of the day. The presence of cellular telephones or other devices that 
transmit on frequencies close to those of navigation satellites may also interfere with the 
acquisition of location data.

Note that in some cases the camera may take some time to acquire a signal, for example 
immediately after the battery is inserted or when the record location data function is 
enabled for the first time, or after an extended period of disuse. Location data for movies are 
for the start of recording. Note that turning the camera off does not disable the location data 
function.

Depending on the accuracy of the data acquired from the satellite system and the effects of 
local topography on satellite reception, the location data recorded with pictures may differ 
from the actual location by up to several hundred meters.
