Using the Optional 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) to every recording you make (MP4
clips, XF-AVC clips and photos). For MP4 clips and photos, the UTC (coordinated universal time) date and time
will be recorded as well. For XF-AVC clips, the GPS information is recorded as part of the clip's metadata and
can be used to organize and search recordings using
Canon XF Utility

Connecting the GPS Receiver

it on your person. For details about connecting and using the receiver, refer to the GP-E2 Instruction Manual.
