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
continuously receives the corresponding signals and updates the posi-
tion 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 dis-
play (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 pos-
sible 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 hold-
ing the camera 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 influ-
ence instruments and measuring equipment. Therefore, make sure
the GPS function 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.
