Set the POWER switch of the camcorder to ON.
When you set the POWER switch of the camcorder to on, two or
more x light next to G on the viewfinder, this means that the unit is
receiving enough radio waves from satellites for positioning.
For detailed information on how to confirm the reception status, see
"Displaying the GPS INFORMATION window on the viewfinder" on page 1-
14.
For information about the time required to calculate a location, see "About
the time needed to calculate a location after power on" on page 1-14.

Press the VTR START button on the camcorder or the VTR button
on the lens.
The camcorder starts recording video images, audios and shooting
locations on the cassette tape and the shooting location on a
"Memory Stick".
Notes
• The ACCESS indicator on the camcorder is lit while the unit is
recording data in the "Memory Stick" and goes off when recording
is finished. While this indicator is lit, do not set the POWER
switch to on or off. Also, do not remove the battery or set the
external power supply to off.
• While the camcorder (with the HKDW-703 option board) is
recording in loop-rec mode or using an interval function, GPS data
is not recorded.
To confirm the shooting location or time used for
calculating a location
You can confirm these items on the viewfinder.
The difference between the present time used for calculating
location is normally one second. If the difference is more than one
second, it indicates that the unit is in having trouble receiving GPS
radio waves properly.
