Before Using GPS
The camera’s GPS (Global Positioning System)
feature determines your position (latitude and
longitude) and stores this information with pictures
taken with the camera.
The camera uses supplementary orbital data
(assisted GPS or A-GPS) for improved signal
acquisition.
A-GPS data must be updated every 14 days.
Before using GPS, you will need to set the camera
clock to the correct date and time. (p. 49)
