Cannot perform positioning.

When [GPS Setting] is set to [OFF].
●
Depending on the recording environment, such as when indoors or near buildings, it may not be
possible to correctly receive the signals from the GPS satellites.
→ When using the GPS, we recommend holding the camera still for a while with the GPS antenna
facing upward in an outdoor location where you can see the entire sky.
The GPS status indicator lights up while the camera is turned off.
●
[GPS Setting] is [ON].
→ Electromagnetic waves from the camera can affect instruments and meters. In airplane cabins
(during takeoff and landing) or in other restricted areas, set [Airplane Mode] to [ON], and then
turn off the camera.
Positioning takes time.
●
When using the camera for the first time or after not using it for a while, positioning may take several
minutes.
●
Positioning usually takes less than two minutes, but because the positions of the GPS satellites
change, it may take longer depending on the recording location and environment.
→ Positioning can be executed faster when you download GPS assist data to the camera using the
"GPS Assist Tool".
●
Positioning will take time in environments where it is difficult to receive the signals from the GPS
satellites. (→257)
