Q&A Troubleshooting
GPS (continued)
DMC-ZS20
Positioning takes time.
●
When using the camera for the first time or after not using it for a while, positioning may take several
minutes.
●
Positioning usually takes less than two minutes, but because the positions of the GPS satellites
change, it may take longer depending on the recording location and environment.
→
Positioning can be executed faster when you download GPS assist data to the camera using the
“GPS Assist Tool”. (

●
Positioning will take time in environments where it is difficult to receive the signals from the GPS
satellites. (

The location name information is different from the recording location.
●
Immediately after the camera’s power is turned on or when the GPS icon is something other than
, the location name information that is recorded in the camera may vary significantly from the
current position.
●
When
is displayed for the location name information, the information can be changed to a
different candidate before starting to record. (

Map
DMC-ZS20
Cannot display detailed maps.
●
Use the “LUMIX Map Tool” software on the DVD (supplied) to copy map data from the DVD. (
→
150)
It takes time to copy the map data.
●
Since the map data size is large, it may take time to copy the map data. We recommend copying the
map data of a required area only.
●
When you copy map data by connecting the camera to the computer, it may take longer than the
time required for copying the data using the commercially available card reader/writer.
