How to use the GPS function

Set the GPS switch to ON ( appears on the LCD screen). Your camcorder starts trying

to triangulate. When your camcorder triangulates successfully, it will record the location

information at the time movies and photos were recorded. You can identify the GPS switch by

the “Operating Guide” supplied.

Notes

The indicator changes according to the strength of GPS signal reception.

Triangulating status GPS indicators GPS reception status

Function off No indicator

The GPS switch is set to OFF, or the GPS receiver is not

functioning normally.

Difficult

Your camcorder cannot find a GPS signal, therefore, it cannot

triangulate. Use your camcorder in an open area.

Processing

Your camcorder is confirming the GPS signal, and will be able

to acquire location information soon. Wait until your camcorder

completes the triangulation.

Triangulating

Your camcorder is receiving a GPS signal, and can acquire location

information.

Triangulating

Your camcorder is receiving a strong GPS signal, and can acquire

location information.

The GPS switch is set to ON in the default setting. Movies and photos recorded during triangulation by

GPS will be recorded with location information. If you do not want to record location information, set

the GPS switch to OFF.

It may take from several seconds to several minutes to acquire the location information when you use the

GPS for the first time or use it again after long intervals.

Even if the camcorder is turned off, the GPS function is working as long as the GPS switch is set to ON.

Make sure that the GPS switch is set to OFF during take off and landing of an airplane.

You may not be able to acquire location information depending on the strength of GPS reception.

The 3 dots in the lower right of show GPS signal stability. When fewer than 3 dots are displayed, the

GPS signal is not stable enough to triangulate in the current environment. To successfully triangulate,

move to an open area first, and turn the GPS switch to OFF and ON again, or turn the power of your

camcorder off and on.

Your camcorder quits trying to triangulate after a few minutes of unsuccessful attempts. If your

camcorder continues to display (triangulation process not started) even after moved to an open area,

turn the GPS switch to OFF and ON again, or turn the power of your camcorder off and on.
