When the optional GP-E1 GPS Receiver is attached to the camera’s system extension terminal, the camera will
automatically record GPS information (latitude, longitude and altitude) as part of the metadata of XF-AVC clips
(

For details about attaching and configuring the receiver, refer to the GP-E1’s instruction manual.
