5. Geotagging information
Tips
·
If a photo is taken when the receiver is off or it has not yet obtained a GPS lock, the image will be recorded
normally but without any GPS data.
·
If you take photos in situations where the GPS signal is lost after it was already acquired, such as indoors,
under tree coverage or near tall buildings, the lock function, which is enabled by default, will reuse the last
known position for subsequent images.
Only when the receiver is kept on, the Pro2-EOS able to provide the last known GPS information. If you turn
off the receiver, the stored GPS data becomes invalid. The LOC symbol is displayed on the LCD to indicate
that the current GPS position is the recorded Lock data.
