Using the Digital Compass

While you are using the GPS function, if the [Calibrate digital 
compass] screen appears or if the direction indicated looks 
questionable, calibrate the digital compass as follows. The digital 
compass should be calibrated at the actual shooting location.

 

Check that [Digital compass] is set 
to [Enable].

 

Select [Calibrate digital compass], 
then press <0>.

The camera will be ready for 
calibration.

Since the digital compass uses geomagnetism for direction sensing, correct 
directions may not be obtained or calibration may not be possible in the 
following environments.

• In or near buildings (including office buildings, residences built using 

reinforced concrete or masonry, and underground shopping malls), 
vehicles (including cars, trains, planes, and boats), or metal structures 
such as elevators

• Near metals (including steel desks and furnishings), permanent 

magnets (including magnetic jewelry), or home electronics (including 
televisions, computers, speakers, or mobile phones)

• Near high-voltage lines (including transmission towers), overhead 

power lines (including those powering trains), or metal facilities 
(including footbridges and guardrails)

• At high latitudes
