triangulating.
  TriangulatingYour  camera  is receiving  a GPS  signal, and  can  acquire  location
information. Latitude and  longitude (B)
 are  displayed when triangulating.
Satellite  and  triangulating indicators
The satellite’s  position  can  be  checked on  the position  information  display  (C) .  The satellite information
acquisition status  is displayed on  the triangulating  indicator  (D) .  The triangulating  indicator  turns green

according  to  the time or place.
Do  not cover  the GPS  sensor  with  your  finger  when searching  for  GPS  satellites or when
triangulating. This decreases  the sensitivity  of  the GPS  sensor  and  triangulation  may fail.
