Recording using the GPS function
∫About the GPS
This is an abbreviation for “Global Positioning System”, which is a system that allows you 
to check your position utilising GPS satellites.
Calculating the current position by receiving
  radio waves including orbit information and 
clock information from multiple GPS satellites is called positioning.
Positioning is performed by this unit when radio waves from 3 or more GPS satellites are 
received.
∫ Receiving signals from GPS satellites
•
It is recommended to use by holding the camera still for a while at an outdoor location clear to 
the sky, with the antenna pointed upward.
•Radio waves from GPS satellites cannot be received properly at the following locations, so the 
positioning may not be possible or a significant error may occur.
–Indoor/underground or underwater (when using t he marine case)/in the woods/traveling in a 
train or a car etc./close to or between buildin gs/close to high voltage lines/inside a tunnel/
close to mobile phones working on 1.5 GHz band etc.
•Do not cover the GPS antenna with your hands etc.•Do not carry the unit inside a metallic case or  similar when positioning. Positioning is not 
possible when the unit is covered by metal etc.
•Following menus can be set.
¢ This can be set only when [Beach & Snorkeling] mode  (P66) is set.

Positioning is started once the GPS function is started, and acquired location name 
information and other information can be stored in the recorded pictures.
Select [GPS Setting] from the [GPS/Sensor] menu.  (P44)
Press  3/4 to select [ON] or [ ] and then press [MENU/SET].
•Exit the menu after it is set.
Note
•Even if the receiving condition of the radio waves is excellent, it may take 2 to 3 minutes 
to complete the positioning when performing positioning for the first time or when you 
perform positioning after turning on the power again after turning the power off with the 
[GPS Setting] set to [ ] or [OFF].
•When [GPS Setting] is set to [ON], the GPS function will operate even when the power is 
turned off. Electromagnetic waves from this unit may affect other electronic devices, so 
set [GPS Setting] to [OFF] or [ ] and turn the power of the unit off when you carry this 
unit onboard an airplane or inside a hospital etc.
• GPS status indicator is lit during the positioning. Also, when 
the GPS status indicator is lit with the power is turned off, 
[GPS Setting] is set to [ON].

latitude/Longitude–Location name information (country/region, prefecture/state, city/ward/county, town/village, 
landmark)
Valid information for the current position is  displayed as location name information by 
searching the location names and landmarks in the database in this unit based on the 
longitude/latitude from the positioning. (It may not display the closest location.)
•
[---] is displayed when there is no valid info rmation even when the positioning is successful.•Even when the location name information is displayed as [---], it may be possible to select the 
location name information with [GPS Area Select]  (P87).
•Desired landmark may not be registered. Location name information is as of December 2010. 
For details of the types of landmark, refer to “Landmark types” on P170 .•Location name information (location names or landmark names) may be different from the

•Even if you do not perform [Repositioning], it  will perform the positioning automatically right 
after the power is turned on, and in constant time intervals. (When [GPS Setting] is not set to 
[OFF])
•It will perform the positioning in constant time intervals even when the power is turned off with 
[GPS Setting] set to [ON].

About the declination adjustment
Earth is a giant magnet with the S-pole at the North Pole and the N-pole at the South 
Pole, and the magnetism the Earth has is called “geomagnetism”. There is a difference 
between the angle of the north that a magnetic compass points to and the geographical 
“true north” due to the effect of the “geomagnetism”. The difference between these 
angles is called “declination”.
The compass in this unit will point to “true north” by automatically correcting the 
“declination” with a built-in magnetic sensor.
•
The declination adjustment of this unit is performed by the latitude/longitude 
information acquired by the positioning of the GPS. It is recommended to update the 
current latitude/longitude by frequently performing the positioning since there may 
be a significant difference in declination due to traveling depending on the location.
