Can I add location information to recorded images?
A10
Yes.
You can enable the setting below to have the smartphone acquire and record location information (latitude and longitude) when you shoot a snapshot with the camera.Then when you send the snapshot to the smartphone, the location information will be added to it.

  On : Smartphone acquires and records location information when a snapshot is shot, and adds it to the image data when the snapshot is sent to the camera.
  Off : Location information is not acquired or added.

On an Android terminal, select "Setting" on the Remote Capture screen.
* With an Android terminal you will need to turn on the the operating system's position information service.                          
On an iPhone, perform the following operation: "Settings"  -> "Privacy"  -> "Location Services".

IMPORTANT!
• Location information can be recorded only while there is a Bluetooth wireless technology connection between the camera and smartphone.
• To select “On” for the camera’s “Location info” setting, pair the camera with a smartphone.
• While “On” is selected for “Location info”, the smartphone acquires and records location information each time you shoot a snapshot with the camera.
• Location information is not added to snapshot data stored in camera memory. It is added when the snapshot is sent to the smartphone.
• To use this function, your smartphone’s location services must be enabled, and it must be where location information can be received. Location information will not be available to add to images if the smartphone is unable to receive location information.
• You can check whether or not location information was added successfully on the smartphone’s image receive screen.
• Up to 10,000 location records can be maintained by the smartphone. If there are already 10,000 records, shooting a new snapshot will cause the oldest location record to be deleted to make room for the new one.
• Enabling location-based services causes the location information, and other personally identifiable information to be included in the snapshot data. Take care when sharing or publishing such images on web services, etc.
• This camera is not designed to be used for navigation, surveying, or other activities that require precision instruments.
• Note that location information is not added to movies or to images shot automatically with Interval Shooting.
