Buying an Olympus TG-7, my first real camera, and have some questions specific to iNatting

There’s a physical switch on top of the camera that turns on the constant log, so don’t turn that switch on.

Without using that, as others have mentioned, it takes some time to find the location. And sometimes I’ve noticed the first photo has a different (wrong) location than later ones.
I usually don’t turn the camera off, so it doesn’t lose the location until it turns itself off after 1+5 minutes.

You can manually update the A-GPS data with their computer program or their app, which helps the camera to find the location faster. According to this thread, that only helps if you have the correct time, so you have to switch time zones manually as needed and turn on/off DST manually twice a year if applicable.

It’s not great for that. But it is great for bugs (or anything close-up).
