Formatting Memory Cards  
Before you use a new memory card or one that has been formatted in other  
devices, you should format the card with this camera.  
Formatting (initializing) a memory card erases all data on the memory card.  
As you cannot retrieve the erased data, exercise adequate caution before  
formatting the memory card.  
Before formatting an Eye-Fi card (p. 197), be sure to install the software  
contained on the card to a computer.

Pressing the Shutter Button  
Formatting or erasing data on a memory card merely changes the file  
management information on the card and does not ensure its contents are  
completely erased. Be careful when transferring or disposing of a memory  
card. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions such as  
physically destroying the card to prevent personal information leaks.  
The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the formatting screen  
may be less than indicated on the memory card.  
Perform a low-level format (p. 177) of the memory card when the camera  
does not operate properly, the recording/reading speed of a memory card  
has dropped, when continuous shooting speed slows down, or when  
movie recording stops suddenly.

z Since the shot is being taken while the  
shutter sound plays, be careful not to move  
the camera.  
Does the length of the shutter sound change?  
Since the time required to shoot differs depending on the scene you want to  
take, the length of the shutter sound may change.  
If the camera or subject moves while the shutter sound is playing, the recorded  
image may be blurry.  
If you shoot without pressing the shutter button halfway, the image may not  
be in focus.

What if white and gray frames appear when you point the camera toward  
a subject?  
A white frame appears on the face or subject that the camera detected as the  
main subject, while gray frames appear on other detected faces. The frames will  
follow the subjects within a certain range.  
If the subject moves, however, the gray frames will disappear, leaving only the  
white frame.

Using the GPS Function  
This function uses signals received from multiple GPS satellites to record  
location information (latitude, longitude, elevation) in still images and movies.  
The location information data can also be recorded separately from images  
and movies. This function can also be used to automatically update the  
camera’s clock.  
Before using the GPS function, make sure to correctly set the date/time and  
GPS stands for “Global Positioning System”.  
Please keep the following things in mind when using the GPS function.  
In certain countries and regions, the use of GPS may be restricted.  
Therefore, be sure to use GPS in accordance with the laws and  
regulations of your country or region. Be particularly careful when  
traveling outside your home country.  
Exercise caution when using this function in places that restrict the use of  
electronic devices, as the camera receives signals from GPS satellites.  
The camera’s positioning information recorded in images and movies  
with the GPS function may contain information that can be used to  
determine your physical locatione surto take adequate precautions  
when transferring images contacamra positioning data and GPS  
log files to others, or wheadg these files to the Internet where they  
can be viewed by numerople.  
GPS Function: Where it Can be Used and How to  
Hold the Camera

Using the GPS Function  
Carrying the Camera when Using the GPS Logger Function  
When carrying the camera, make sure the GPS signal receiver is pointed  
toward the sky whenever possible. When keeping it in your bag, try to keep it  
in an outer pocket with the GPS signal receiver pointed toward the sky. Doing  
so will make it easier to receive GPS satellite signals.  
Environments where GPS Signals Cannot be Received  
Since it may not be possible to receive GPS satellite signals correctly in the  
following situations, the camera’s positioning data may not be recorded or  
the recorded position may differ from the actual position.  
zIndoors zUnderground zNear buildings or valleys zIn tunnels or forests  
zNear high-voltage power lines or mobile phones that use a frequency of  
1.5 GHz zWhen the camera is inside a bag or suitcase, etc. zUnder water  
distances zWhen moving to a different environment  
Since the position of GPS satellites changes over time, the camera’s  
positioning data may not be recorded, the recored position may differ from  
the actual position, or the camera may ord false route even if it was  
used in the same place without moving
It may take some time to receivnafrom GPS satellites after  
switching the battery, or if the Gction has not been used for a long  
time.  
If the camera’s location informaion is not recorded, incorrect information is  
recorded, or it takes a considerable amount of time to receive GPS satellite  
signals, turn off the camera and remove the battery, then reinsert the  
battery after more than one minute has elapsed. This will reset the GPS  
function, which may enable recording of correct information.

the received signals, the location information and shooting date for a single  
day will be recorded in a GPS log file, separate from images. The log files can  
be used with the included software (p. 2) to view the route travelled on a map.
