Recording GPS Information (Geotagging)
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 (MXF
clips, MP4 clips and photos). For MP4 clips and photos, the UTC (coordinated universal time) date and time will
be recorded as well. For MXF 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 (
A
168).
In mode, you can check whether a recording contains GPS information or not (
A
145, 151).
