b Notes
• Adjust the date and time on your camcorder
before using your camcorder.
• There may be discrepancies of a few seconds
even when [AUTO CLOCK ADJ] is activated.
• [AUTO CLOCK ADJ] automatically adjusts the
clock when the camcorder receives GPS signals
and finishes triangulating successfully while the
power is on. Once the clock is adjusted, it will
not be adjusted until the next time you turn the
camcorder on again.
• [AUTO CLOCK ADJ] may not be adjusted to
the correct time, depending on the country/
region. In this case, set [AUTO CLOCK ADJ]
to [OFF].
Automatically corrects for time differences
detected using location information
acquired by GPS.
Set (SYSTEM) t [AUTO AREA
ADJ] in the menu to ON.

The GPS (Global Positioning System) is a
system that calculates geographical location
from highly accurate US space satellites.
This system allows you to pinpoint your
exact location on the earth.
The GPS satellites are located in 6 orbits,
20,000 km above the earth. The GPS
system consists of 24 or more GPS
satellites. A GPS receiver receives radio
signals from the satellites, and calculates
the current location of the receiver based on
the orbital information (almanac data) and
travel time of the signals, etc.
Determining a location is called
“triangulation.” A GPS receiver can
determine the location’s latitude and
longitude by receiving signals from 3 or
more satellites.
• As the positions of GPS satellites vary
constantly, it may take longer to
determine the location or the receiver may
not be able to determine the location at all,
depending on the location and time you
use the camcorder.
• “GPS” is a system for determining
geographic location by triangulating radio
signals from GPS satellites. Avoid using
the camcorder in places where radio
signals are blocked or reflected, such as a
shadowy place surrounded by buildings or
trees, etc. Use the camcorder in open sky
environments.
• You may not be able to record position
information at locations or in situations
where radio signals from the GPS
satellites do not reach the camcorder as
follows.
– In tunnels, indoors, or under the shade of
buildings.
– Between tall buildings or in narrow
streets surrounded by buildings.
– In underground locations, locations
surrounded by dense trees, under an
elevated bridge, or in locations where
magnetic fields are generated, such as
near high voltage cables.
– Near devices that generate radio signals
of the same frequency band as the
camcorder: near 1.5 GHz band mobile
telephones, etc.
About triangulation errors
• If you move to another location right after
setting [GPS SETTING] to [ON] in the
menu, it may take a longer time for the
camcorder to start triangulating,
compared to when you stay in the same
place.
• Error caused by the position of GPS
satellites
The camcorder automatically triangulates
your current location when the camcorder
