GPS
Before Using the GPS
GPS means the Global Positioning System. The camera receives signals from
multiple GPS satellites to determine its position and the time. This is called
“positioning”.
Embeds location information on an image
Location information such as latitude and longitude of a shooting location is
recorded.
Saves log files to the SD Memory Card
The camera receives signals from GPS satellites regularly and saves GPS
information to the SD Memory Card as a log file in KML format. The log files can
be imported to programs that can read KML files (example: Google Earth) on a
computer and your route can be displayed on their maps.
Corrects the camera clock using GPS information
The camera corrects its clock automatically using the time data received from
GPS satellites.
Displays the electronic compass on the screen
The camera has the Electronic Compass function that displays the lens direction
at the time of shooting on the screen.
When the camera receives signals from GPS satellites, it indicates the orientation
to true north using GPS location information. The location information can be
recorded on captured images.
When the camera does not receive any signals or the GPS function is set to off,
it indicates the orientation to magnetic north.
