Using GPS Function 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 (p. 51), and with the provided software (p. 2), you can use log files to follow the route taken with the camera on a map. Since the date will be updated, and information location will be logged continually whether or not the camera is on, battery life will be reduced even when the camera is off. You may find the battery to be nearly depleted when turning the camera on. Charge the battery as needed, or keep a spare charged battery with you. Activate GPS. Follow steps 1 - 2 on p. 47 to configure the setting. Configure the setting. Press the n button, and then press the qr buttons to choose [On]. To restore the original setting, repeat this process but choose [Off]. Finish the setup process. When you press the m button, a message about the logger is displayed. Be sure to read the message.
