[Auto time setting]
Time information acquired from GPS signals can be set on the camera. The margin of error is approx. ±0.02 sec. Selecting [Auto update] will update the time when GPS signals are received while the camera is on.
Caution
- The time cannot be automatically updated unless signals from at least five GPS satellites can be acquired. [Set now] will be grayed-out and unavailable.
- Even if [Set now] can be selected, time adjustment may not be possible, depending on the timing of GPS signal acquisition.
- Setting [Auto time setting] to [Auto update] prevents the date or time from being manually set with [
: Date/Time/Zone] ().
- If you have performed [Sync time between cameras] and prefer not to have the time adjusted, set [Auto time setting] to [Disable].
[GPS information display]
Shows acquired GPS information.
The 
icon indicates signal conditions. When [
] is displayed, elevation is also recorded. Note that elevation is not recorded when [
] is displayed.
You can check geotag information by displaying a shot, pressing the 
button to access the shooting information screen, and then pressing 
.
- (1) Latitude
- (2) Longitude
- (3) Elevation
- (4) Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
Note
- Movies are tagged with the geotag information acquired when you start recording. Note that signal reception conditions are not recorded.
- Coordinated Universal Time, abbreviated as UTC, is essentially the same as Greenwich Mean Time.
GPS Logger
By setting [Log GPS position] to [Enable], you can automatically record geotag information at specific intervals along the route that the camera travels. Geotag information is recorded at the interval set in [Position update intvl] as log data saved in the camera's internal memory by date. You can also view the route traveled on a map displayed on a computer.
Position update intervals and log data capacity (in days) are as follows.

With one day being equivalent to eight hours of log data
- Names of daily log files consist of the date and number (such as 19101000). New log file are created if the camera enters a new time zone ().
- When the camera's internal memory becomes full, old log data is overwritten with new data.
Caution
- In [Mode 1], GPS logging continues even with the power switch set to
.
- In [Mode 2], setting the power switch to deactivates GPS logging. However, GPS logging continues during auto power off.
- Geotag information added to images may be inaccurate under some traveling conditions, in some locations, or under some GPS settings.
Transferring log data to a card
You can transfer recorded log data to a card selected in [Transfer log data to card].
- Transferring log data to a card erases the data from the camera's internal memory.
- Log files transferred to a card are stored in the “GPS” folder within the “MISC” folder. They are saved with a “.LOG” file extension.
- Log files (.LOG) can be converted to KMZ format with GPS Log File Utility ().
Deleting log data
To delete log data in internal memory, select [Delete log data], then select [OK]. It may take approx. 1 min. to delete the data.
Position data retention
To continue geotagging images even where satellite coverage is poor (if you go indoors, for example) by using geotag information in log data, setting [Position data retention] to [Unlimited] is recommended. The most recently acquired geotag information is added to log data until new information can be acquired.
When a time such as [10 min.] is set, after geotag information cannot be acquired, the most recent geotag information is added to log data for the specified period.
