Geotagging applies the initial camera location and shooting date and time, as
acquired when you begin shooting a movie.

For movies made using [

] mode (

=

), geotagging applies the initial

camera location and shooting date and time, as acquired for the first clip shot
that day.

Logging Camera Location Data

You can keep a record of where the camera was taken by using location
information acquired from GPS satellite signals over a period of time.

Daily location and time data is logged to a file, separate from image data.

Log files can be reviewed on the camera (

=

32

), and with the software

(

=

), you can use log files to follow the route taken with the camera on

a map.
Note that the GPS logger will reduce battery life, because some power
is consumed even when the camera is off. Charge the battery pack as
needed, or keep a spare charged battery pack with you.
