Memo
If positioning cannot be performed after waiting for several minutes, this means GPS reception is poor, and there is difficulty in receiving data. Move to an open place with no obstructions. Otherwise, GPS information will not be recorded when shooting is performed.
Signal may not be received depending on circumstances such as locations that are indoors or surrounded by tall buildings, or the geographical conditions.
Precision error may occur in the position information depending on the conditions of reception.
Even when positioning is in progress, information may be disrupted depending on the condition of signal reception.
When [GPS] is set to “Off”, and the SDI output is 1080/59.94p or 1080/50p, changing [GPS] to “On” switches the SDI output to 1080/59.94i or 1080/50i.
