Use the camera outside, where there is

an unobstructed view of the sky. (GPS

functions will not work correctly indoors or

in other areas away from GPS coverage

(“Places With Poor GPS Coverage”

(

)).)

Tips When [ ] is Displayed

When GPS signal reception is not possible indoors or in other places

away from coverage (“Places With Poor GPS Coverage” (

=

40

)), try

going outside where there is an unobstructed view of the sky. Hold the

camera correctly (

=

39

) and point the GPS antenna up at the sky.

[ ] will normally be displayed within a few minutes when the camera is

used in areas with ample GPS coverage, such as outdoor areas with an

unobstructed view of the sky. If [ ] is not displayed, move to an area

without obstructions (such as buildings) between the camera and GPS

satellites and wait a few minutes until it appears.

Places With Poor GPS Coverage

Location information may not be recorded, or inaccurate information may

be recorded where GPS signal coverage is poor, such as in the following

places.
●Indoors ●underground ●near buildings or in valleys ●in tunnels or

forests ●near high-voltage power lines or mobile phones operating on the

1.5 GHz band ●inside a bag or suitcase ●under water (when the camera

is used in an optional waterproof case (

=

157

)) ●when traveling across

great distances ●when traveling through different environments

Even in other places, GPS satellite movement may interfere with

geotagging and cause missing or inaccurate location information, or the

information may indicate that the camera has been used elsewhere even

if it has not.

Time Required to Receive a GPS Signal

GPS signal reception may take longer after battery replacement, or when

you have not used GPS functions for some time.

You can shorten the time required to receive a GPS signal by using Wi-Fi

to store Assisted GPS data (information on the position of GPS satellites)

(

=

44

).
