RECORDING THE LOCATION WITH GPS

The Global Position System enables the current position of the receiver to

be determined worldwide. When this function is activated, the Leica S contin-

uously receives the corresponding signals and updates the position data.

The camera writes this information - latitude and longitude, height above sea

level - to the "EXIF" data.

Setting the function

3. In the

SETUP menu (see p. 17/26), select GPS (5.37), and

4. then

On or Off.

• The "satellite" symbol ((4.1.17), only visible in the picture data display

(4.1)) in the monitor indicates the current status:

Position last determined maximum of 1min ago

Position last determined maximum of 24hrs ago

Position last determined at least 24hrs ago,

or no position data available

Notes on the function:

• The prerequisite for GPS positioning is to have as clear a view as possible

of at least three GPS satellites (out of the total of 24, up to 9 are available

from every location on earth). We therefore recommend holding the cam-

era with the GPS antenna pointing vertically upwards (1.3).

• Make sure that the GPS antenna is not covered with your hand or any other

item, particularly metal objects.

• It may not be possible to receive good signals from GPS satellites at the

following locations or in the following situations. In such cases, either no

positioning at all or only inaccurate positioning is possible.

- Closed rooms

- Underground

- Under trees

- In a moving vehicle

- Close to tall buildings or in steep valleys

- Close to high voltage cables

- In tunnels

- Close to mobile telephones

- With accessories attached in the ﬂash shoe, e.g. a ﬂash unit

Information for safe use

The electromagnetic radiation generated by the GPS system can inﬂuence

instruments and measuring equipment. Therefore, make sure the GPS func-

tion is deactivated on board an aircraft before takeoﬀ or landing, in hospitals

or in other locations where there are restrictions on wireless transmissions.

Important (legal restrictions on use):

• In certain countries or regions, the use of GPS and associated technolo-

gies may be restricted. Therefore, before traveling in other countries you

should consult the relevant country's embassy or your travel agent.

• The use of GPS inside the People's Republic of China and Cuba and close

to their borders (exceptions: Hong Kong and Macao) is prohibited by the

law of those countries.

Contravention will lead to prosecution by the national authorities. The GPS

function is therefore deactivated automatically in these areas.
