When a picture is taken while the GPS is on, the GPS data
is recorded in the image. The GPS data is not recorded
in movies. You can check the GPS information in Detailed
Information Display in playback mode. (p.15)
u Caution
• You cannot turn the GPS on/off while recording a movie.
• While the GPS is on, the battery drains faster than normal.
• If you use the camera near objects which generate
a magnetic field such as magnets, or have magnetism such
as iron, the electronic compass may not work properly.
• The GPS data recorded in the image cannot be deleted. If you
do not want to share the shooting location information with the
public when posting the image on SNS, etc., turn the GPS off
before shooting.
• You cannot use the optional GPS unit O-GPS1 with this
camera.
• For other precautions on the GPS, refer to “About the GPS”
(p.108).
t Memo
• When the GPS information can be obtained, Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC) is recorded as the shooting date and
time for images. On the Electronic Compass screen (p.13),
the time is displayed after the difference between UTC and
the time of the shooting location is corrected.
[GPS Time Sync] and [GPS Indicator
Lamp] can be turned on/off in
[Additional Settings] of [GPS] in the
A2 menu.
Adjust the camera to obtain the direction information accurately.
1 Select [GPS] in A2 menu and press D.
The [GPS] screen appears.
2 Select [Calibration] and press D.
The [Calibration] screen appears.
3 Rotate the camera according
to instructions displayed
on the monitor.
The result of calibration appears.
4 Press E.
The [GPS] screen reappears.
u Caution
• When performing a calibration, be careful not to drop
the camera. Wrap the strap around your wrist or take other
measures.
• If [The operation could not be completed correctly] appears
as the result of calibration in Step 3, change the camera
direction and perform a calibration again.
t Memo
• If the battery is removed, perform a calibration again after
the battery is put back in.
• If [ASTROTRACER] is set to [ON], [Precise Calibration]
appears in the [GPS] screen instead of [Calibration].
As the magnetic field varies depending on the shooting
location, precise calibration must be performed at each
location when shooting images of celestial bodies with
ASTROTRACER.
