Reading location information from a smartphone
You can use the application Imaging Edge Mobile to obtain location information from a smartphone that is connected
with your camera using Bluetooth communication. You can record the obtained location information when shooting
images.
Refer to “
Pairing the camera with a smartphone (Smartphone Regist.)
” to pair the camera and smartphone in advance.
Icons displayed when obtaining the location information
(Obtaining location information): The camera is obtaining the location information.
(Location information cannot be obtained): The camera cannot obtain the location information.
Hint
Location information can be linked when Imaging Edge Mobile is running on your smartphone even if the smartphone monitor is
off. However, if the camera has been turned off for a while, location information may not be linked immediately when you turn the
camera back on. In this case, location information will be linked immediately if you open the Imaging Edge Mobile screen on the
smartphone.
When Imaging Edge Mobile is not operating, such as when the smartphone is restarted, launch Imaging Edge Mobile to resume
location information linking.
If the location information linking function does not work properly, see the following notes and perform pairing again.
Confirm that the Bluetooth function of your smartphone is activated.
Ensure that the camera is either not connected to any other device or connected to only one device using Bluetooth
communication. (Up to 2 devices can be connected to the camera at the same time.)
Confirm that [Airplane Mode] for the camera is set to [Off].
Delete the pairing information for the camera registered in Imaging Edge Mobile.
Delete the pairing information for the camera registered in the Bluetooth settings on your smartphone.
Delete the pairing information for your smartphone registered in [Manage Paired Device] on the camera.
Note
When you initialize the camera, the pairing information is also deleted. Before performing pairing again, first delete the pairing
information for the camera registered in the smartphone's Bluetooth settings and Imaging Edge Mobile.
The location information will not be recorded when it cannot be obtained, such as when the Bluetooth connection is
disconnected.
The camera can be paired with up to 15 Bluetooth devices, but can link the location information with that of only one smartphone.
If you want to link the location information with that of another smartphone, turn off the [Location Information Linkage] function
under [Setup] in Imaging Edge Mobile on the smartphone that is already linked.
Launch Imaging Edge Mobile on your smartphone and tap [Setup] → [Location Information Linkage].

automatically corrects the date setting or area setting using information from the smartphone.
