							108Using the Hybrid-GPS
Procedure
[MENU] * Set Up Tab * Auto Rotate
The camera automatically detects whether a snapshot image was shot in portrait or 
landscape orientation and displays it accordingly.
• The current “Auto Rotate” setting is ignored while “Off” is selected for the “GPS” 
setting (page 92).
Procedure
[MENU] * Set Up Tab * Time Auto Correct
While “On” is selected for the “Time Auto Correct” setting, the camera uses time data 
received from GPS satellites to automatically correct its clock settings.
IMPORTANT!
• Note that switching between summer time and standard time is not performed 
automatically.
• World Time settings (for all 32 time zones) are corrected when a wave is received 
from the GPS satellites. Note, however, that in this case the displayed time will not 
change until you turn the camera off and then back on again. If you travel to 
another time zone, you can find out the current local time by turning the camera off 
and then back on again, and checking the displayed time.
• Attempting to change “World Time” setting (page 144) or the “Adjust” setting (page 
146) while “On” is selected for the “Time Auto Correct” setting, will cause the 
message “Auto time correction is turned on. Cannot perform operation.” to appear 
on the display.
• The World Time City and time settings may not update correctly when you are 
located in the vicinity of a boundary between two time zones. If this happens, select 
“Off” for the “Time Auto Correct” setting, and then use “World Time” setting (page 
144) or the “Adjust” setting (page 146) to adjust the time and date settings.

							110Using the Hybrid-GPS
.Using the camera in another country
• Certain countries or areas may place restrictions on the use of GPS and/or the 
accumulation of positioning log data. This camera has a built-in GPS function. 
Before taking it to another country, be sure to check with the appropriate embassy 
or with your travel agent to find out if bringing in a camera with a GPS function and/
or accumulation of position information log data is allowed in that country.
• Recommended photogenic spots are provided for reference only, and there is no 
guarantee that you will be able to get to a site or that it will be simple to get to a site. 
Before entering a mountainous, jungle, desert, or other dangerous area or any 
area where your personal safety may be at risk, be sure to obtain the latest news 
about regulations, restrictions, safety, and other important information.
.Hybrid-GPS operation while the camera is turned off
• When “On” is selected for the “GPS” setting, the Hybrid-GPS continues to operate 
and periodically performs positioning to determine your current location, even when 
the camera is turned off. Whenever you need to completely turn off the camera and 
disable positioning (such as during aircraft takeoffs and landings), be sure to 
change the “GPS” setting to “Off” (page 92) and then turn off the camera.
• Also note that battery power continues to be consumed if the camera is turned off 
while “On” is selected for the “GPS” setting.
.Not using the camera for a long time
• For the first GPS wave reception after you have not used the camera for a long 
time or after leaving the camera without the battery loaded for a long time, 
positioning will take longer than normal to complete.
.Immediate position correction
• Because camera’s autonomous positioning uses an accelerometer and a direction 
sensor for positioning, the Hybrid-GPS function can become unstable where there 
is severe magnetic disturbance (on a train, in a motor vehicle), or where there is 
severe movements (inside of a bag, etc.). Whenever the camera judges that 
autonomous positioning is unstable, it performs immediate GPS wave reception 
and corrects positioning.
