Introduction The GPS Receiver GP-E2 can geotag your shots and record the route you travel. Using the provided software Map Utility, you can view shooting locations and the route traveled. The receiver can also set the camera time via GPS. Before Use Before use, check whether your camera menu displays [GPS device settings]. Cameras that display the settings All features described in this manual are supported by the receiver.
Features Geotagging Images and Adding the Shooting Direction Supported by cameras that display [GPS device settings] in the menu. Shots taken while the receiver is attached to the camera are geotagged, adding location information*1 (latitude, longitude, elevation, and shooting time (UTC*2)) to images. Shooting locations of geotagged images can be viewed on a virtual map on a computer.
Features Setting the Camera Time Supported by cameras that display [GPS device settings] in the menu, except the EOS 7D. The camera time can be set using GPS signals. On the EOS-1D X, high-precision adjustment is performed with a margin of error of approx. ±0.02 second relative to UTC time, and on other cameras, the margin is approx. ±1 second.

Turning the Receiver On Checking the battery level Check the battery level on the indicator. Slow blinking : Level OK Fast blinking : Little power left Off : Replace battery Position The receiver functions in this position only with EOS DIGITAL cameras that display [GPS device settings] in the menu. Shots taken while the receiver is attached to the camera are geotagged, adding location information (latitude, longitude, elevation, and shooting time) to images.
Acquiring GPS Signals To acquire GPS signals, bring the receiver outdoors where the sky is unobstructed and aim it up. Keep your hand or other objects off the top of the receiver. Turn the power switch to or to start automatic GPS signal acquisition. To check the acquisition status, watch the blinking of the red indicator.
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.
Acquiring GPS Signals Viewing GPS Information Check GPS information as follows when the receiver is attached or connected to a camera that displays [GPS device settings] in the menu. 1 Select [GPS device settings]. On the EOS-1D X and other models that display the following screen, set [GPS device] to [Enable], and then select [GPS device settings]. [GPS information display]. 2 Select X Detailed GPS information is displayed.
Geotagging Images as You Shoot When the receiver is attached or connected to a camera that displays the [GPS device settings] menu item, images are geotagged as you shoot. On cameras other than the EOS 7D, simply shoot with the receiver attached to your camera. Images can also be tagged with the shooting direction. EOS 7D Users Plug the end of the cable labeled into the receiver’s terminal.
Logging the Route Traveled Setting the power switch to will automatically record location information along the route traveled on the receiver itself. (There is no need to connect the receiver to the camera.) The recorded location information can be viewed on a virtual map. Logs can also be used to geotag images at a later time (p.25).
Logging the Route Traveled Location Information Logs Location information is recorded at regular intervals along the route traveled with the receiver, as shown in the positioning interval table. Daily logs (p.24) are saved on the receiver itself. The number of days for which you can store logs depends on the positioning interval you specify in [Position update timing] (p.18). Log files can be saved or deleted using the provided software Map Utility.
Setting the Positioning Interval You can specify the positioning interval when the receiver is attached or connected to a camera that displays the [GPS device settings] menu item. Shorter positioning intervals yield more accurate location information for your images. However, this also consumes more battery power. On cameras without this menu item, the positioning intervals is every 15 seconds by default and can be changed using the provided software Map Utility. 1 Select [GPS device settings].
