GPS and map functions
Before using the camera, be sure to read “License Agreement for Place
Name and Map Data” (Owner’s Manual for advanced features).
This camera can record the location information of a place where a
picture was taken on the pictures. The camera can also automatically
adjust the time or display a place where a picture was taken on a map
during playback.
Your Panasonic Lumix digital still camera is GPS-equipped which can
automatically record the precise location coordinates of where the photo
was taken. The specific physical address of this location can easily be
derived from this information.
If you upload such “geotagged” photos to the Internet, a social networking
site or any other electronic media, the precise location of where the photo
was taken will remain embedded in the photo and can be viewed by
others.
Therefore, when taking digital still photos, care should be taken in
determining whether you wish to have the GPS feature enabled or
disabled.
