If you are unable to receive GPS satellite signals, please check the following.
Where to Use GPS, and How to Hold the Camera
Use the camera outside, where there is an unobstructed view of the sky. (GPS functions will not work correctly indoors or in other areas away from GPS coverage
Hold the camera correctly, as shown below, for easier GPS signal reception.
Keep your fingers or other objects off the GPS antenna.
How to Carry the Camera When Using the Logger
For better GPS signal reception, try to keep the GPS antenna pointing up, toward the sky. When carrying the camera in a bag, put it in the bag with the GPS antenna pointing up, and try to put the camera in an outer section of bag.
Places With Poor GPS Coverage
Location information may not be recorded, or inaccurate information may be recorded where GPS signal coverage is poor, such as in the following places.
● Indoors
● Underground
● Near buildings or in valleys
● In tunnels or forests
● Near high-voltage power lines or mobile phones operating on the 1.5 GHz band
● Inside a bag or suitcase
● Under water
● When traveling across great distances
● When traveling through different environments
Even in other places, GPS satellite movement may interfere with geotagging and cause missing or inaccurate location information, or the information may indicate that the camera has been used elsewhere even if it has not.
