Setting The Gps - Ricoh WG-6 Operating Manual

Setting the GPS

The camera can acquire information from GPS satellites using the built-in
GPS function.
Caution -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Local geographic conditions such as places where radio waves are blocked or reflected may prevent or
delay the acquisition of GPS information.
• The positions of GPS satellites are continuously changing and this may prevent or delay the acquisi-
tion of GPS information.
• The presence of devices transmitting frequencies close to those of GPS satellites or devices generating
a strong magnetic field may interfere with the acquisition of GPS information or deteriorate the GPS
information precision.
• Note that the camera may take a while to acquire the GPS information if it has not been used for
an extended period or has been moved a great distance from where the GPS information was last
acquired.

• The presence of devices generating a strong magnetic field or devices blocking magnetic fields may
interfere with the acquisition of correct direction information.
• The GPS function may not work near a broadcast tower, etc. and in a place where strong static elec-
tricity is generated.
• The use of GPS, the collection of location information, etc. may be regulated depending on the coun-
try and region. When bringing the camera to a foreign country, check with your embassy or travel
agency beforehand if there are restrictions on bringing in the camera with the GPS function, logging
GPS information, etc.
