RECORDING THE LOCATION WITH GPS

The Global Positioning System enables the current position of the

receiver to be determined worldwide. When the function is activated the

Leica S continuously receives the corresponding signals and updates the

position data. You can write this information - latitude and longitude,

height above sea level - to the "EXIF" data.

Setting the function

1. In the menu, under

SETUP

, select the item

GPS

and

2. switch the function

Off

• The "Satellite" symbol in the top panel display indicates the status:

–

Last position determined up to 6 minutes ago

–

Last position determined up to 24 hours ago

–

No position data available

Notes on the function:

• GPS positioning requires as clear a path as possible to at least 3 of the

GPS satellites (of the total of 24 satellites, up to 9 are available from

any point on earth). We therefore recommend holding the camera with

the GPS aerial pointing vertically upwards.

• Make sure that the GPS aerial is not covered with your hand or any

other item, particularly metal objects.

• It may not be possible to receive good signals from GPS satellites at

the following locations or in the following situations. In such cases,

positioning may not be possible at all, or may be incorrect:

– In closed rooms

– Underground

– Under trees

– In a moving vehicle

– Close to high buildings or in steep valleys

– Close to high voltage cables

– In tunnels

– Close to mobile telephones

– With accessories attached to the flash shoe, e.g. a flash unit

We recommend that when activating the GPS function after prolonged

storage of the camera, this is always done first at a point with good

"reception".

Information for safe use

The electromagnetic radiation generated by the GPS system can affect

instruments and measuring equipment. Therefore, make sure the GPS

function is deactivated e.g. on board an aircraft before takeoff or landing,

in hospitals or in other locations where there are restrictions on wireless

transmissions.

Important (legal restrictions on use):

• In certain countries or regions, the use of GPS and associated technol-

ogies may be restricted.

• Therefore, before traveling in other countries you should consult the

relevant country's embassy or your travel agent.

• The use of GPS inside the People's Republic of China and Cuba and

close to their borders (exceptions: Hong Kong and Macao) is prohib-

ited by national laws.

• Violations will be prosecuted by the authorities. The GPS function is

therefore deactivated automatically in these areas.
