Proper triangulation is not possible indoors or near tall buildings. Use your camera in an open area
outside, and turn on your camera again.
If no triangulation icon appears, even if you wait for several minutes, you may be in an area where
GPS signal reception is difficult or impossible. Begin shooting where you are, or move to an open
area outside. If you shoot where you are, no location information will be recorded.

Use GPS in accordance with the regulations of the place or situation.
It may take from several tens of seconds to several minutes to acquire the location information
when you use the GPS for the first time or use it again after long intervals. Triangulating time can
be shortened by taking in GPS assist data.
Do not cover the GPS sensor with your finger when searching for GPS satellites or when
triangulating. This decreases the sensitivity of the GPS sensor and triangulation may fail.
