Using the Camera

Getting Started

1. Inserting the battery:

a. Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover at the bottom of the camera on

the right side if you are looking at the screen.

b. Insert the rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL5 that is provided with the camera.

Make sure that the positive and negative sides are lined up correctly. Use the

battery to push the orange battery latch up as the battery is inserted. The latch

raises back into place when the battery is fully inserted. Once the battery is

inserted close the battery-chamber/ memory card slot cover.

i. Before you do so make sure that the battery is charged. To charge the

camera follow these steps:

2. Confirm that the power-on lamp and the monitor are off. You

cannot charge the camera while the power is on.

3. Connect the AC adapter to the camera’s DC input connector on the

right side of the camera if you are looking at the screen. The DC

input connector is behind a little cover that says DC IN and A/V

OUT on it.

4. Plug the power cable into an outlet.

5. The battery will begin charging. The power-on lamp and AF lamp

will blink, and the battery will start charging. The power-on lamp

and AF lamp will stop blinking when charging is complete. This

process can take up to 3 hours.

Using the GPS

This is central to your mapping project. Using the GPS feature on the camera will allow you to

geotag photos without the aid of independent GPS trackers.

a. Rotate the mode dial on the top of the camera to GPS mode.

i. Do so once you are in an open space when starting to receive signals from

GPS satellites.

begins.

2. Several minutes may be required to obtain the positional

information if setting Record GPS data to ON for the first time, or

about two hours have passed since obtaining the last positioning

information.

3. When Record GPS data is on, GPS data will be recorded even if

the power is turned off, and positioning will be done every 90

minutes for six times. Because the camera is operating even when

the power is off, this can drain the battery.

ii. Press the menu button again. Having the accurate time and date is integral

to properly using GPS. You can synchronize the time and date using the

GPS satellites.

1. Scroll down to synchronize.

2. Select Yes.

3. The satellites will now set the time and date of your camera.

iii. Press the Menu button again

2. Check the positioning status before shooting.

c. Before taking a picture, check the GPS status.

i. When camera is on, GPS data is recorded every 5 seconds. However, GPS

data will not be updated when the zoom control and any dials are operated,

or when any button is pressed.

ii. Check the positioning status before shooting to make sure that the GPS is

working.

1. Put the dial back into the GPS setting. GPS information will

appear.

2. To check the signal strength look at the number and color of

satellites below the words Signal Strength in the upper left of the

screen.

a. 3 White satellites: the camera is receiving signals from 4 or

more satellites to determine position. Positional

information will be recorded onto the picture.

b. 2 White satellites: the camera is receiving signals from 3

satellites to determine position. Positional information will

be recorded onto the picture.

c. 1 Red satellite: Positioning has not been possible for a

period of time more than the valid storage period.

Positional information will not be recorded.

3. To check your location see the longitude and latitude coordinates

given below Position on the lower left of the screen.

4. To check the time since the last GPS recording see the time

elapsed in the top right of the screen.

5. To check the position of satellites and signal status see the circular

grid on the right of the screen. The strength of signal is indicated

by color. Gray is the weakest, then yellow, and blue is the

strongest.

iii. When in the following areas you may have trouble receiving GPS data:

1. Inside buildings, especially the basement.

2. Between high-rise buildings.

3. Under overpasses.

4. Inside tunnels.

5. Near high-voltage electrical power lines.

6. Between clusters of trees.

7. Also avoid:

a. Using a cell phone of 1.5 GHZ near the camera.

b. Carrying the camera in a metal bag.

d. Take the picture.

i. Switch the dial out of GPS mode into preferred picture mode.

ii. Point and shoot.

e. To make sure that the picture you have taken has recorded GPS data:
