D Cautions: Location Data
Turning the camera o
ff does not disable the location data function. The location data function can
be disabled by selecting [OFF] for [Location data (built-in)]> [Record location data] in the setup
menu.
The location data recorded with videos are those reported at the start of recording.
The camera may in certain cases need additional time to acquire location data, for example
immediately after the battery is inserted, when the location data function is enabled for the first
time, or after an extended period of disuse.
The positions of navigation satellites change constantly. This may slow or prevent the acquisition of
location data in some locations or at certain hours of the day.
Satellite signals may be blocked or reflected in the locations listed below, rendering the data
acquired less accurate or preventing its acquisition altogether.
In buildings or under ground
Between tall buildings
Under bridges
In tunnels
Near power lines or similar structures
In dense forest
In metal briefcases or other containers
The presence of cellular telephones or other devices that produce strong electromagnetic fields or
transmit on frequencies close to those of navigation satellites may interfere with the acquisition of
location data.
Where the error in the signal from the satellite is very large, the location reported by the camera
may differ from its actual location by up to several hundred meters.
Due to variability in the precision of the location data acquired, differences between geodetic
systems, and other factors, the location data embedded in pictures may differ from the location in
which they were actually recorded.
