102This function uses signals received from multiple GPS satellites to recordlocation information (latitude, longitude, elevation) in still images and movies.The location information data can also be recorded separately from imagesand movies. Additionally, this function can be used to automatically updatethe camera’s clock.Before using the GPS function, make sure to correctly set the date/time andyour home time zone (p. 19) beforehand.GPS stands for “Global Positioning System”.Please keep the following things in mind when using the GPS function.• In certain countries and regions, the use of GPS may be restricted.Therefore, be sure to use GPS in accordance with the laws and regulationsof your country or region. Be particularly careful when traveling outside yourhome country.• Exercise caution when using this function in places that restrict the use ofelectronic devices, as the camera receives signals from GPS satellites.• The camera’s positioning information recorded in images and movieswith the GPS function may contain information that can be used todetermine your physical location. Be sure to take adequate precautionswhen transferring images containing camera positioning data and GPSlog files to others, or when uploading these files to the internet where theycan be viewed by numerous people.• Since it may not be possible to receive GPS satellite signals correctly inthe following situations, the camera’s positioning data may not berecorded or the recorded position may differ from the actual position.When indoors, under ground, under water (using separately-soldwaterproof case) (p. 39), in tunnels or forests, near buildings or valleys,near high-voltage power lines or mobile phones that use a frequency of1.5 GHz.Since the position of GPS satellites changes over time, the camera’spositioning data may not be recorded or the recorded position may differfrom the actual position even in situations other than those mentionedabove.• It may take some time to receive a signal from GPS satellites afterswitching the battery, or if the GPS function has not been used for a longtime.Using the GPS Function SX230 HSCOPY
