Move the camera.
c
Wave the camera laterally in at least
a 180° arc.
d Wave the camera up and down in at
least a 180° arc.
e Rotate the camera in at least a 180°
arc as it faces the same direction.
Be careful not to drop the camera
during calibration.
Steps c , d , and e can be done in
any order. Keep moving the camera
until calibration is finished.
If the compass is not calibrated after
you do this, turn your body to the right
or left and move the camera again.
7
Finish calibration.
A screen indicating completion is
displayed when calibration is finished.
Although this screen may be
displayed while you are still moving
the camera in a direction of step 6
(
c , d , or e ), calibration has been
finished successfully.
For safety, remove the lens and other accessories before calibration.
As the digital compass uses geomagnetism, calibration may not be
possible under the following conditions: at high altitudes, near magnetic
fields, in steel-structure buildings, underground, etc. Even if calibration is
possible, the receiver may not be able to detect the shooting direction
correctly.
