Positioning will take time in environments where it is difficult to
receive the signals from the GPS satellites. For details, refer
to "Using the GPS function to record the location of a picture"
(Operating Instructions for advanced features).
●
Even if GPS reception is good, it will take approx. 2 to 3
minutes to successfully execute positioning under the following
conditions;
• When positioning is executed for the first time
• When [GPS Setting] was set to [OFF]
• When [Airplane Mode] was set to [ON] and the camera was
turned off
• When the battery was removed
GPS reception icon
The same number of icons as the
number of the GPS satellites (from
which radio signals are successfully
received) stop flashing and light.
If the three bars of the GPS reception
icon do not light and the icon turns
off, it means that positioning was
unsuccessful.
