GPS (SLT-A55V only) The camera is not receiving a GPS signal. • Set [GPS On/Off] to [On] (page 138). • Your camera may not be able to receive radio signals from GPS satellites because of obstructions. • To triangulate the location information correctly, bring your camera to an open area, and turn on the camera again. Excessive error in location information. • The margin of error can be up to several-hundred meters depending on surrounding buildings, weak GPS signals, etc. • When your camera cannot receive a GPS signal, previously-triangulated location information is used in the present location instead. If you move a long distance, incorrect location information may be recorded. Check the triangulation status with the GPS indicator displayed on the screen during shooting (page 138). It takes time to triangulate although GPS assist data has been taken in. • [Date/Time Setup] is not set, or set time is shifted greatly. Set the date and time correctly (page 28). • The term of validity of assist data has expired. Update the GPS assist data (page 139). • As the positions of GPS satellites vary constantly, it may take longer to determine the location or the receiver may not be able to determine the location at all, depending on the location and time you use the camera. • “GPS” is a system for determining geographic location by triangulating radio signals from GPS satellites. Avoid using the camera in places where radio signals are blocked or reflected, such as a shadowy place surrounded by buildings or trees, etc. Use the camera in open sky environments. The location information has not been recorded. • Use “PMB” to import the movies with GPS location information to your computer. 184
