b Map/location name data of this camera
Before using the GPS function, make sure to read “USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR
MAP DATA AND LOCATION NAME DATA” (
F9) and agree to the terms.
• The maps and location name information (Point of Interest: POI) are as of December 2010.
The maps and location name information will not be updated.
• The details of geological formations are displayed simplistically according to the scale
of a map. The scale of a map and level of detail of the location information vary
depending on country and region.
If the latitude becomes higher, the horizontal and vertical scales displayed on the
monitor vary, therefore displayed geological formations differ from the actual
formations. Use the maps and location name information only as a guide.
b Notes on GPS/digital compass
• Do not operate the GPS/digital compass while you are driving a car.
• Use information (such as direction and distance) measured by the camera as a guideline only.
This information cannot be used for navigation of an airplane, car, and person or land
survey applications.
• When you use the camera for mountain climbing , trekking, or underwater, be sure to
take a map, navigation device, or measuring instrument separately.
• When the camera lens is facing upward, the digital compass is not displayed.
• An individual may be identified from still pictures or movies that have been recorded
with location information.
Observe caution when you transfer still pictures or movies recorded with location
information, or GPS log files to a third party or upload them to a network such as the
Internet where the public can view them.
Be sure to read “Disposing of Data Storage Devices” (
Av).
b When the Record GPS data of the GPS options menu is On, the GPS
function will continue to operate even when the camera is turned off.
• The electromagnetic waves emitted from the camera may affect the measuring
instruments of an airplane or medical equipment.
When use of the camera is prohibited during airplane takeoffs and landings or inside
a hospital, set the Record GPS data to Off and turn off the camera.

b Using the camera overseas

agency or embassy of the country you are visiting to confirm whether there is any
restriction on use.
For example, you cannot record location information logs without permission from
the government in China.
