Geotagging Images on the Camera

tagged with information including the latitude, longitude, and elevation.

time zone are set correctly, as described in “Setting the Date and
Time” (= 20). Also follow the steps in “World Clock” (= 140)
to specify any shooting destinations in other time zones.
● Others may be able to locate or identify you by using location data
in your geotagged still images or movies. Be careful when sharing
these images with others, as when posting images online where
many others can view them.
