Caution
• You cannot turn the GPS on/off while recording a movie.
• While the GPS is on, the battery drains faster than normal.
• If you use the camera near objects which generate a
magnetic field such as magnets, or have magnetism such as
iron, the electronic compass may not work properly.
• The GPS data recorded in the image cannot be deleted. If you
do not want to share the shooting location information with the
public when posting the image on SNS, etc., turn the GPS off
before shooting.
• You cannot use the optional GPS unit O-GPS1 with this
camera.
• For other precautions on the GPS, refer to “About the GPS”
t

Universal Time (UTC) is recorded as the shooting date and
time for images. On the Electronic Compass screen (p.13),
the time is displayed after the difference between UTC and
the time of the shooting location is corrected.
