8Using the GPS
Calibration is the process of making adjustments to a device in order to obtain 
accurate information. Always calibrate the electronic compass before using it.
1Use the four-way controller (23) to select [Electronic 
Compass] in the [ WSetting] menu.
2Press the four-way controller ( 5) twice.
The [Calibration] screen appears.
3Wrap the strap around your wrist so you do not drop the 
camera, and then rotate the camera at least 180 degrees each 
vertically, horizontally, and laterally.
[Complete] appears when the camera is 
successfully calibrated.
4Press the  4 button.
The screen returns to the [ WSetting] menu.
Adjusting the Electronic Compass (Calibration)
• Do not swing or twirl the camera while changing your grip on it. 
• If calibration is unsuccessful, face in a different direction and/or slightly 
change the angle of grip, and then try calibration again.
• The electronic compass may not show the proper direction due to the 
passing of time, or the change of the camera location. We recommend 
periodically calibrating the camera.
• Calibration can be done regardless of the GPS signal reception status.
• At locations that are strongly affected by environmental magnetism, it may  be difficult to achieve successful calibration, or the electronic compass may 
not show the proper direction even if calibration is completed. The same 
may result when the camera is calibrated indoors. 
• At locations that are affected by geomagnetism, such as in volcanic  regions, it may be difficult to achieve successful calibration, or the 
electronic compass may not show the proper direction even if calibration is 
completed.
• If you cannot calibrate the camera within one minute of rotating the camera 
in three directions, the process will fail and the message [Cannot process 
correctly] appears. If this happens, try calibration again.
Calibration
Rotate camera in each of 3directions ensuring that
each rotation exceeds 180°
