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)
