Ricoh Caplio 500SE GPS Enabled Digital Camera — Quick Guide
Note:
The camera acquires its GPS location from where it is
physically located when the picture is taken. To capture the
GPS location of the object in the picture, see the GPS Lock
section on page 14.
If the camera loses GPS signal it will automatically use the last
know GPS location for up to a half an hour, so pictures taken
indoors will automatically be place at the last know location.
