Geotagging Images While Shooting The still images and movies you shoot can be geotagged, automatically adding latitude, longitude, and elevation information. You can review the recorded location information on the camera (=103). Using the software (=21), you can also view the locations on a map, with the still images and movies shown next to them. 1 Activate GPS. zzFollow steps 1 - 2 in "Using GPS Function" (=40) to configure the setting. 2 Shoot. zzThe still images and movies you shoot are now geotagged, and you can review the location information as described in "GPS Information Display" (=103). • In addition to geotagging your shots, you can also tag shots with the shooting date and time (=103) in UTC format (=44). • Geotagging applies the initial camera location and shooting date and time, as acquired when you begin shooting a movie. • For digest movies (=49), geotagging applies the initial camera location and shooting date and time as acquired for the first movie that day. Logging Camera Location Data You can keep a record of where the camera was taken by using location information acquired from GPS satellite signals over a period of time. Daily location and time data is logged to a file, separate from image data. Log files can be reviewed on the camera (=43), and with the software (=21), you can use log files to follow the route taken with the camera on a map. Note that the GPS logger will reduce battery life, because some power is consumed even when the camera is off. Charge the battery as needed, or keep a spare charged battery with you. 1 Configure the setting. zzFollow step 1 (=40) in "Using GPS Function" to choose [ ], press the button, and then choose [On] (either press the buttons or turn the dial). zzTo restore the original setting, repeat this process but choose [Off]. 2 Finish the setup process. zzWhen you press the button, a message about the logger is displayed. Be sure to read the message. XXThe [ ] icon shown with your shots indicates the GPS reception status at that time (=40). XXThe logger function will operate, and the date, time and location information based on signals acquired from GPS satellites will be logged to the camera. zzThe logger will continue to function even when the camera is turned off.
