Before Using GPS

The camera’s GPS (Global Positioning System) feature determines your position (latitude and longitude) and stores this information with pictures taken with the camera. The camera uses supplementary orbital data (assisted GPS or A-GPS) for improved signal acquisition. A-GPS data must be updated every 14 days. Before using GPS, you will need to set the camera clock to the correct date and time. (p. 50)

Updating A-GPS Data

Install the update software

(OLYMPUS A-GPS Utility).

● Download the update software from the following website and install it on your computer. http://sdl.olympus-imaging.com/agps/ The update software can also be installed from the supplied CD-ROM.

Connect the camera to the

computer and launch the update software. “Connecting with a computer” (p. 54)

● Once the software has started, follow the on-screen instructions.

Using GPS

Select [On] for [GPS Settings] >

[GPS] in the d (Settings Menu 3) tab. (p. 53)

● Once the camera has determined the position,

 and location coordinates will appear in the display.
