• When position information cannot be
received, triangulation priority mode is
activated. All other functions stop and the
camcorder searches for satellites, making
it easier to receive position information.
• To receive position information manually,
press the [Update] button.
• To close the GPS information screen,

Notes
• Adjust the date and time on your camcorder
before using your camcorder.
• There may be discrepancies of a few seconds
even when [AUTO CLOCK ADJ] is activated.
• [AUTO CLOCK ADJ] automatically adjusts the
clock when the camcorder receives GPS signals
and finishes triangulating successfully while the
power is on. Once the clock is adjusted, it will
not be adjusted until the next time you turn the
camcorder on again.
• [AUTO CLOCK ADJ] may not be adjusted to
the correct time, depending on the country/
region. In this case, set [AUTO CLOCK ADJ] to
[OFF].
Automatically corrects for time differences

The GPS (Global Positioning System) is a
system that calculates geographical location
from highly accurate US space satellites.
This system allows you to pinpoint your
exact location on the earth.
The GPS satellites are located in 6 orbits,
20,000 km above the earth. The GPS system
consists of 24 or more GPS satellites. A GPS
receiver receives radio signals from the
satellites, and calculates the current location
of the receiver based on the orbital
information (almanac data) and travel time
of the signals, etc.
Determining a location is called
“triangulation.” A GPS receiver can
determine the location’s latitude and
longitude by receiving signals from 3 or
more satellites.
• As the positions of GPS satellites vary
constantly, it may take longer to determine
the location or the receiver may not be able
to determine the location at all, depending
on the location and time you use the
camcorder.
• “GPS” is a system for determining
geographic location by triangulating radio
signals from GPS satellites. Avoid using
the camcorder in places where radio
signals are blocked or reflected, such as a
