Even if [

] can be selected, time adjustment may not be possible,

depending on the timing of GPS signal acquisition.
Setting [

Auto time setting

] to [

Auto update

] prevents the date or time from being

manually set with [ :

] (

] and prefer not to have the

time adjusted, set [

].

[Position update intvl]

You can set the positioning interval (time) for updating geotag information. Although tagging
is more accurate when the geotag information is updated at shorter intervals, this reduces
the number of shots available because it drains the battery faster.

Caution

Some inconsistency in positioning intervals is inevitable, due to the nature of GPS.
