On Gps Errors - Sony FDR-X1000V How To Use Manual

[98] How to use
On GPS
As the positions of GPS satellites vary constantly, it may take longer to determine the
location or the receiver may not be able to determine the location at all, depending on the
location and time you use the camera.
GPS is a system that determines your position by receiving signals from satellites. Avoid
using the GPS feature on your camera in places where radio signals are blocked or
reflected, such as a shadowy place surrounded by buildings or trees, etc. Use the camera
in open sky environments.
You may not be able to record location information at locations or in situations where
radio signals from the GPS satellites do not reach the camera as follows.
In tunnels, indoors or under the shade of buildings
Between tall buildings or at narrow streets surrounded by buildings
In underground locations, locations surrounded by dense trees, under an elevated bridge, or in
locations where magnetic fields are generated, such as near high voltage cables.
Near devices that generate radio signals of the same frequency band as the camera: near 1.5
GHz band mobile telephones, etc.
If you take images with the GPS log set to [ON], and upload those images to the Internet,
the shooting location may be available to third parties. To prevent this, set GPS log to
[OFF] before shooting.

On GPS errors

If you move to another location right after turning the camera on, it may take a longer time
for the camera to start triangulating, compared to when you stay in the same place.
Error caused by the position of GPS satellites
The camera automatically triangulates your current location when the camera receives
radio signals from 3 or more GPS satellites. The triangulating error allowed by the GPS
satellites is about 10 m (33 feet). Depending on the environment of the location, the
triangulating error can be greater. In this case, your actual location may not match the
location on the map based on the GPS information. Meanwhile, the GPS satellites are
controlled by the United States Department of Defense, and the degree of accuracy may
be changed intentionally.
