GPS and map functions
Before using the camera, be sure to read “License Agreement 
for Place Name and Map Data” (Owner’s Manual for advanced 
features).
This camera can record the location information of a place where a 
picture was taken on the pictures. 
The camera can also automatically adjust the time or display a place 
where a picture was taken on a map during playback.
Your Panasonic Lumix digital still camera is GPS-equipped which can 
automatically record the precise location coordinates of where the 
photo was taken. The specific physical address of this location can 
easily be derived from this information. 
If you upload such “geotagged” photos to the Internet, a social 
networking site or any other electronic media, the precise location of 
where the photo was taken will remain embedded in the photo and 
can be viewed by others. 
Therefore, when taking digital still photos, care should be taken in 
determining whether you wish to have the GPS feature enabled or 
disabled.
