Picture mode

RECORDING THE LOCATION WITH GPS

The external Visoﬂex viewﬁnder (Typ 020) available as an accessory

contains a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver. If the viewﬁnder

is attached, this enables the camera to add the location coordinates

to the picture data.

Setting the function

Select GPS in the menu and the required setting in the submenu.

• The „satellite“ symbol in the monitor indicates the relevant status:

– GPS oﬀ: No display

– GPS on, no reception:

– GPS on, reception:

Notes on the function:

• In the factory default settings, this menu option is activated.

• The prerequisite for GPS positioning is to have as clear a view as

possible of at least 3 GPS satellites (out of the total of 24 satellites,

up to 9 are available from every location on earth).

• Make sure that the viewﬁnder is not covered with your hand or any

other item, particularly metal objects.

• It may not be possible to receive good signals from GPS satellites

at the following locations or in the following situations. In such

cases, positioning may not be possible at all, or may be incorrect.

– In closed rooms

– Underground

– Under trees

– In a moving vehicle

– Close to high buildings or in steep valleys

– Close to high voltage cables

– In tunnels

– Close to 1.5 GHz mobile telephones

Information for safe use

Make sure the GPS function is deactivated on board an aircraft

before takeoﬀ or landing, in hospitals or in other locations where

there are restrictions on wireless transmissions.

Important (legal restrictions on use):

In certain countries or regions, the use of GPS and associated

technologies may be restricted. Therefore, before traveling in other

countries you should consult the relevant country‘s embassy or your

travel agent.
