If data on your current location
cannot be obtained
A display that allows you to triangulate the
location again appears. In this case, follow
the instructions that appears on the LCD
screen.
Hints for better reception
Use the GPS function outdoors and in open
areas.
For details on locations or situations where
radio signals cannot be received, refer to the
“Handycam” User Guide.
Rotate the LCD panel to direct the GPS antenna
(p. 13) towards the sky. Do not place your hand
on the GPS antenna.
Select [Your Location] in the menu to use the
triangulating priority mode (p. 45).
Use GPS Assist Data.
If you import GPS Assist Data from your
computer to your camcorder using the built-in
“PlayMemories Home” software, the time it
takes the camcorder to acquire your location
information can be shortened. Connect the
camcorder to a computer that is connected
to the Internet. The GPS Assist Data will be
updated automatically.
