The GPS switch is set to ON in the default setting. Movies and photos recorded during triangulation by
GPS will be recorded with location information. If you do not want to record location information, set
the GPS switch to OFF.
It may take from several seconds to several minutes to acquire the location information when you use the
GPS for the first time or use it again after long intervals.
Even if the camcorder is turned off, the GPS function is working as long as the GPS switch is set to ON.
Make sure that the GPS switch is set to OFF during take off and landing of an airplane.
You may not be able to acquire location information depending on the strength of GPS reception.
Tips
The 3 dots in the lower right of
show GPS signal stability. When fewer than 3 dots are displayed, the
GPS signal is not stable enough to triangulate in the current environment. To successfully triangulate,
move to an open area first, and turn the GPS switch to OFF and ON again, or turn the power of your
camcorder off and on.
Your camcorder quits trying to triangulate after a few minutes of unsuccessful attempts. If your
camcorder continues to display

turn the GPS switch to OFF and ON again, or turn the power of your camcorder off and on.
You can search for movies and photos to be played on the Map Index (p. 36).
When you play movies and photos with [DATA CODE] set to [COORDINATES], the location
information appears on the LCD screen (p. 84).
You can use [AUTO CLOCK ADJ] and [AUTO AREA ADJ] to adjust the clock and the area (p. 94).
