If [Enable] is selected, <r> will still be displayed on the LCD panel
even when you turn the camera’s power switch to <2>. Also, since
the camera will receive GPS signals at regular intervals, the battery will
drain quickly and the number of possible shots will decrease. If you will
not use the camera for a prolonged period, set to [Disable].

Under the following conditions, the GPS satellite signal will not be properly
acquired. As a result, the geotag information may not be recorded or
inaccurate geotag information may be recorded.

Since GPS satellites move as time passes, satellite movement can
interfere with geotagging and cause missing or inaccurate geotag
information even in conditions other than the above. Additionally, the
geotag information may also include the route travelled even if the
camera was used only at one location.
