feature determines your position (latitude and

longitude) and stores this information with pictures

taken with the camera.

The camera uses supplementary orbital data

(assisted GPS or A-GPS) for improved signal

acquisition.

A-GPS data must be updated every 14 days.

Before using GPS, you will need to set the camera

clock to the correct date and time. (p. 49)
