a magnetic field such as magnets, or have magnetism such
as iron, the electronic compass may not work properly.
• The GPS data recorded in the image cannot be deleted. If you
do not want to share the shooting location information with the
public when posting the image on SNS, etc., turn the GPS off
before shooting.
• You cannot use the optional GPS unit O-GPS1 with this
camera.
• For other precautions on the GPS, refer to "About the GPS"
(p.108).
