GPS RECEIVER GP-E2 INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Acquiring GPS Signals

Places with Poor GPS Coverage

Location information may not be recorded, or inaccurate information may be

recorded where GPS signal coverage is poor, such as in the following

places.

Indoors, underground, near buildings or in valleys, in tunnels or forests

Near high-voltage power lines or mobile phones operating on the

1.5 GHz band

When the receiver is inside a bag or suitcase

When traveling through different environments

Even in other places, GPS satellite movement may interfere with

geotagging and cause missing or inaccurate location information. The

information may also indicate that the camera has been used in a

different location, even if you are shooting at the same place.

Appended Information

When the receiver and the camera are connected with a cable, shots

taken immediately after turning on the camera’s power switch (or

resuming use after auto power off) may not be geotagged. Similarly,

directions may not be recorded correctly. To avoid this, either attach the

receiver to the hot shoe (except for the EOS 7D) or wait a moment

before shooting. When the receiver is attached to the hot shoe, do not

connect the camera and receiver with a cable.

If mirror lockup is performed when the receiver is attached to the hot

shoe, location information where the mirror was locked will be attached

to the images. If mirror lockup is performed when the receiver is

connected to the camera with a cable, shooting location will be attached

to the images as location information. For convenience, the receiver can

be left attached to the hot shoe.
