Calculating the current position by receiving radio waves including orbit information and clock information from multiple GPS satellites is called positioning. The unit can record location name information and latitude/longitude for the recorded image and automatically correct the time. Your Panasonic Lumix digital still camera is GPS-equipped which can automatically record the precise location coordinates of where the photo was taken. The specific physical address of this location can easily be derived from this information. If you upload such “geotagged” photos to the Internet, a social networking site or any other electronic media, the precise location of where the photo was taken will remain embedded in the photo and can be viewed by others. Therefore, when taking digital still photos, care should be taken in determining whether you wish to have the GPS feature enabled or disabled. .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/in the woods/traveling in a train or a car etc./close to or between buildings/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. 20 VQT4D89 (ENG) Acquiring of the GPS information When [GPS Setting] is set to [ON], positioning is performed at regular intervals. When the positioning is successful, location name information and latitude/longitude are acquired. Press [MENU/SET]. Press 3/4/2/1 to selec...
