7Connecting to a Computer
• When you intend to use a brand-new Eye-Fi card for the first time, copy the Eye-Fi Manager installation file to your computer before formatting the 
card.
• Images are transferred via a wireless LAN. Set [Eye-Fi] to  P (Off), or do not 
use an Eye-Fi card in locations where the use of wireless LAN devices is 
restricted or prohibited, such as on airplanes.
• If you insert an older version of Eye-Fi card in the camera, an error  message appears.
• Images will not be transferred in the following situations: - When available wireless LAN access points cannot be found
- When the battery level is low (  (yellow) or   (red) is indicated)
• Transferring a large number of images may take a while. Use of the  optional AC adapter kit (K-AC117) is recommended.
• Auto Power Off does not function while transferring images.
• The camera may be turned off automatically to protect the internal  components when the inside of the camera reaches a high temperature 
caused by transferring a large file such as a movie.
• Use of a wireless access point, Internet and suitable Internet settings are 
required to transfer images via a wireless LAN. For more information, refer 
to the website (http://www.eye.fi/).
• For details on how to use an Eye-Fi card, refer to the operating manual  supplied with the card.
• In case of malfunction of an Eye-Fi card, refer to the manufacturer of the 
card.

8Using the GPS
Before Using the GPS
GPS means the Global Positioning System. The camera receives signals from 
multiple GPS satellites to determine its position and the time. This is called 
“positioning”.
Embeds location information on an image
Location information such as latitude and longitude of a shooting location is 
recorded.
Saves log files to the SD Memory Card
The camera receives signals from GPS satellites regularly and saves GPS 
information to the SD Memory Card as a log file in KML format. The log files can 
be imported to programs that can read KML files (example: Google Earth) on a 
computer and your route can be displayed on their maps.
Corrects the camera clock using GPS information
The camera corrects its clock automatically using the time data received from 
GPS satellites.
Displays the electronic compass on the screen
The camera has the Electronic Compass function that displays the lens direction 
at the time of shooting on the screen.
When the camera receives signals from GPS satellites, it indicates the orientation 
to true north using GPS location information. The location information can be 
recorded on captured images.
When the camera does not receive any signals or the GPS function is set to off, 
it indicates the orientation to magnetic north.

8Using the GPS
• The GPS function is set to off as the default. To use it, set [GPS On/Off] to [On].
• GPS satellites always move. Depending on conditions (location, time etc.),  positioning may take longer or be impossible.
• To use the GPS function, you must be in an open area, such as out of 
doors.
• Positioning may be difficult or impossible in the following situations:  - Under water
- Under ground or indoors
- In tunnels 
- Among high-rise buildings
- Under elevated or near high-voltage electrical power lines
- In the woods
- Near mobile phones that use the 1.5 GHz band
• When the GPS function is set to on, the camera performs positioning  regularly even if it is turned off. Make sure that [GPS On/Off] is set to [Off] 
(p.200) before turning off the camera when taking it where using electronic 
products is prohibited, such as hospitals or airplanes.
• Positioning may take a few minutes when using the GPS function for the  first time, after not positioning for a long while, or after changing the battery.
• The Geodetic system for this camera’s GPS function uses the World 
Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84).
• Using the GPS or recording location information is prohibited in some  countries or regions. Consult the appropriate embassy or a travel agent 
before travelling with a GPS camera.
• Do not carry the camera in a metal container during positioning. If the  camera is covered with metal, GPS positioning cannot be achieved.
• In the following situations, the camera cannot obtain GPS information. It  starts positioning again immediately after being out of the following 
situations: 
- When the alarm is set
- 
When the camera is connected to a computer with a USB cable
- When the camera is connected to an AV device with an AV or HDMI
  cable
- For a minute after changing the battery
• The GPS function of this camera was designed and manufactured for  personal digital camera use only. Do not try to use it as a navigation tool 
for aircraft, motor vehicles, or people, or for surveying. We will not be held
