Information to be recorded on the pictures
When the camera successfully executes positioning, it records the following information
in still pictures and motion pictures
*
.
• Location information (latitude and longitude)
• Place name information (Country/region, province/state, city/borough/county, town/
village, landmark)
*
Only the information determined at the time when the recording was started is recorded.
Additionally, it will be recorded to AVCHD motion pictures that have motion picture quality settings
without the [
] in the motion picture icon. (→126)
●
(with location information) and/or (with place name information) is displayed
during playback for pictures that are recorded with location or place name
information.
●
The location information and place name information are not recorded on pictures
that are recorded when the positioning result icon is displayed. (Since the
pictures have no location information, you cannot perform [Edit GPS Data] (→166, 167))
●
Only the location information will be recorded for pictures recorded immediately
after positioning was executed successfully (until place name information appears).
However, even if positioning failed during recording, location information may be
recorded later once the position becomes available.
• During playback, you can add the place name information to pictures recorded
with only the location information.
■
Place name information
The most appropriate place name is displayed for place name information by searching
for place names and landmarks from the database of this camera based on the latitude
and longitude of positioning. (In some cases, the nearest place name or landmark may
not be displayed.)
• If an appropriate place name or landmark is not found in the database of this camera,
[---] will appear even if positioning is executed successfully. Even if [---] is displayed,
in some cases you can select the place name information by using [GPS Area
Select]. (→165)
• There are also cases where the landmarks you are looking for may not be registered
in the camera database. Place name information such as landmarks is current as of
October 2012. (Type of landmarks (→302))
●
Place name information (place name and landmark name) may be different from the
official names in some cases.
