Using the GP-E2 GPS Receiver
When the optional GP-E2 GPS Receiver is connected to the camcorder's USB terminal, the
camcorder will automatically record the GPS information (longitude, latitude and altitude) and the UTC
(coordinated universal time) date and time to every recording you make (clips and photos). The
recorded GPS information can be checked on the clip information screen or photo playback screen
(single photo view).
Connecting the GPS Receiver
Turn off the camcorder and the receiver. Connect the receiver to the camcorder’s USB terminal using
the USB cable*. While recording, place the receiver in the carrying case* and attach it to the
camcorder’s grip belt or carry it on your person. For details about connecting and using the receiver,
refer to the GP-E2 Instruction Manual.
* Supplied with the optional GP-E2 GPS Receiver.
Activating the GPS Receiver
Turn on the camcorder and receiver.
• The icon appears on the left of the screen and will blink as the receiver tries to acquire satellite
signals.
• When satellite signals are correctly acquired, the icon will stay continuously on. GPS functions
will be activated, and clips and photos recorded thereafter will be geotagged.
Operating modes:
To adjust the date and time automatically according to the GPS data
You can set > [B System Setup] > [GPS Auto Time Setting] to [i Auto Update], to

correct GPS signal is acquired after turning on the camcorder.
• While the automatic date/time adjustment is activated, the > [B System Setup] >
[Date/Time] setting will not be available.
• The time will not be updated while recording.
