RECORDING THE SHOOTING LOCATION WITH GPS

(ONLY IN CONNECTION WITH THE LEICA FOTOS APP)
The GPS (global positioning system) allows the pinpointing of a
receiver anywhere in the world. The GPS function is activated auto-
matically when a connection to the Leica FOTOS app is active and
if the GPS function is active on the mobile device. The camera will
then continuously receive the current GPS data (latitude and longi-
tude, elevation above sea level) and writes this information into the
Exif data of the images.
▸ Activate the GPS function on the mobile device
▸ Activate Leica FOTOS and connect to the camera
Notes
• This function is available only as long as the camera is on line with
the Leica FOTOS app.
• The use of GPS and associated technologies may be restricted in
some countries or regions. Violations will be prosecuted by local
authorities.
• You should therefore contact your travel agent or the embassy of
your destination country for relevant information beforehand.
