How to use the GPS function
Set the GPS switch to ON (
appears on the LCD screen). Your camcorder starts trying
to triangulate. When your camcorder triangulates successfully, it will record the location
information at the time movies and photos were recorded. You can identify the GPS switch by
the “Operating Guide” supplied.

Difficult
Your camcorder cannot find a GPS signal, therefore, it cannot
triangulate. Use your camcorder in an open area.
Processing
Your camcorder is confirming the GPS signal, and will be able
to acquire location information soon. Wait until your camcorder
completes the triangulation.
Triangulating
Your camcorder is receiving a GPS signal, and can acquire location
information.
Triangulating
Your camcorder is receiving a strong GPS signal, and can acquire
location information.
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.
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
(triangulation process not started) even after moved to an open area,
turn the GPS switch to OFF and ON again, or turn the power of your camcorder off and on.
