Recording GPS Information (Geotagging)
When the optional GP-E1 GPS Receiver is attached to the camera’s system extension terminal, the camera will
automatically record GPS information (latitude, longitude and altitude) as part of the clip’s metadata (A 110).
Later, the GPS information can be used to organize and search clips using Canon XF Utility (A 176). In
mode, you can check if a clip contains GPS information on the [Clip Info] screen (A 159).
For details about attaching and configuring the receiver, refer to the GP-E1’s instruction manual.
Attaching the GPS Receiver
Turn off the camera and attach the optional GP-E1 GPS
Receiver to the camera’s system extension terminal.
Activating the GPS Receiver
1 Open the GPS [Activate] submenu.
[System Setup] > [GPS] > [Activate]
2 Select [On] and then press SET.
• The icon appears on the right of the screen and will
flash 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 recorded thereafter will be geotagged.
IMPORTANT
• In certain countries/regions, the use of GPS may be restricted. Be sure to use the GPS receiver in accordance
with local laws and regulations of the country/region where the receiver is used. Be particularly careful when
traveling outside of your home country.
• Be careful about using the GPS receiver in places where the use of electronic devices is restricted.
• The GPS information recorded with clips may contain data that can lead others to locate or identify you. Be
careful when sharing geotagged recordings with others or when uploading them to the Web.
• Do not leave the GPS receiver near strong electromagnetic fields such as near powerful magnets and motors.
