time you use the camera.
“GPS” is a system for determining geographic location by triangulating radio signals from GPS
satellites. Avoid using the camera in places where radio signals are blocked or reflected, such
as a shadowy place surrounded by buildings or trees, etc. Use the camera in open sky
