Searching for GPS satellites. It may take several minutes to start
triangulating.
Triangulating
Your camera is receiving a GPS signal, and can acquire location
information. Latitude and longitude (B) are displayed when
triangulating.
Satellite and triangulating indicators
The satellite’s position can be checked on the position information display (C). The satellite
information acquisition status is displayed on the triangulating indicator (D). The triangulating
indicator turns green when triangulation is successfully completed.
Notes
Even when the camera acquires information from satellites, triangulation may take time or
fail according to the time or place.
Do not cover the GPS sensor with your finger when searching for GPS satellites or when
triangulating. This decreases the sensitivity of the GPS sensor and triangulation may fail.
