Where to Use GPS, and How to Hold the
Camera
 Use the camera outside, where there is
an unobstructed view of the sky. (GPS
functions will not work correctly indoors or
in other areas away from GPS coverage
(“Places With Poor GPS Coverage”
(=
40)).)
 Hold the camera correctly, as shown, for
easier GPS signal reception.
 Keepyourngersorotherobjectsoffthe

How to Carry the Camera When Using the Logger
Function
For better GPS signal reception, try to keep the GPS antenna pointing up,
toward the sky. When carrying the camera in a bag, put it in the bag with
the GPS antenna pointing up, and try to put the camera in an outer section
of bag.

Using GPS Function
Camera location information (latitude, longitude, and elevation) based on
signals acquired from GPS satellites can be added to the still images and
movies you shoot, or this information can be logged separately. In addition
to geotagging, the camera clock can be updated automatically.
Before using GPS functions, make sure the date, time, and home time zone
on the camera are set correctly, as described in “Setting the Date and Time”
(= 16).
When using GPS functions, keep the following points in mind.
• In certain countries and regions, the use of GPS may be restricted.
Therefore, be sure to use GPS in accordance with the laws and
regulations of your country or region. Be particularly careful when
traveling outside your home country.
• Be careful about using GPS features where the operation of
electronic devices is restricted, because the camera will receive
GPS signals.
• Others may be able to locate or identify you by using location data
in your geotagged still images or movies. Be careful when sharing
theseimagesorGPSlogleswithothers,aswhenpostingimages
online where many others can view them.
