GP-E2 GPS Receiver
Connect the GPS receiver to the camera’s multi-function shoe or USB terminal in CAMERA (shooting)
mode to have the GPS information (latitude, longitude, altitude) recorded with the metadata of clips and
photos. If you connect the receiver to the camera’s USB terminal, while recording, it is recommended to
place the receiver in the supplied carrying case and attach it to the camera’s grip belt or carry it on your
person. An AA battery is required to use the GP-E2.
For details about attaching and configuring the receiver, refer to the GP-E2’s instruction manual.
When using a camera with a Type-C USB terminal, an IFC-40AB III or IFC-150AB III Interface Cable (sold
separately) is required. Depending on the camera, it may be necessary to adjust the USB terminal settings.
For details, refer to the instruction manual of the camera being used.
Recorded Information
