Once you click the GPS Information display option, you can see all the GPS and compass parameters like Latitude, Longitude, Elevation, Direction, UTC and Satellite reception Status. Digital compass option will give you the direction where your camera is pointing towards like North, South or Southeast. So, I recommend using a higher interval value for better battery life.Ħ. It will have some impact on your battery life.

So, if you set it to 1 second, then the camera will check and update co-ordinates every second. You will also have a setting called “Position Update interval.” It is the time duration between which camera will look for GPS information. If you want to auto-update your time based on the GPS location, you can enable this feature.ĥ. The first option is the Auto time settings. Once you select the “Set up” option, you will have the configuration screen with different options. You need to set the GPS to Enable to view the “Set up.”Ĥ. One is the GPS Enable/Disable option, and the other one is the “Set up” option for configuring the GPS and compass. Here, you will have two options inside this menu. Now, you are entering the GPS and Digital compass settings menu. Select this option to enter the camera settings for geotagging photos using GPS and inbuilt camera compass.ģ. Navigate to GPS/digital compass settings. Press the Menu function to go to the Menu Set up Section.Ģ. So, it will be more or less the same in all Canon Cameras.ġ. I will be showing this on a Canon 7D Mark II camera. Nikon D5, Nikon D500, and Nikon D5600 are some of the Nikon cameras with this feature. In-Camera Geotagging with External GPSĬertain cameras allow you to connect an external recommended GPS module to bring the geotagging capability to the cameras.įor such cameras, you need to invest in an external recommended GPS module, which you can connect it to the dedicated GPS port in the camera directly or through a cable.Ĭanon EOS 800D and Canon 77D are some of the GPS enabled cameras from Canon that requires an external GPS module Nikon D5300, Nikon 1 AW1 are some of the Nikon Cameras which comes with inbuilt GPS for geotagging. Let us have a look at some of the cameras that come with inbuilt geotagging feature.Ĭanon 1DX Mark II, Canon 7D Mark II, Canon 6D Mark II, Canon 5d Mark IV are some of the Canon cameras which come with Geotagging feature. You can even share it with your friends if they are interested to take the same path. So, later if you want to go the same route, then you can extract the GPS file from your camera and use it to get your earlier route of travel.
You cannot find some ways even in google maps. You can make use of the in-camera GPS file to track the route, which you have traveled. You can quickly get the photo location with the time stamp. If you are a blogger who writes travelogues, then you would want this feature in your camera. You will get the exact location from the geotagged photo itself. If you have enabled the geotagging feature in the camera, then you don’t have to recollect the place from your memory. When you are writing a trip report, you want to include the location from where you have photographed that particular species. So, when you photograph an animal with a geotagging enabled camera, you can easily make out the exact location from where you have filmed the animal. So,when you are on a wildlife photography trip, you would be inside some forest looking for wild animals. This feature is useful to wildlife and nature photographers. I will list out some which I found very useful. There are many advantages of geotagging photos. The user can disable this feature if you don’t want to use the geotagging feature. Now, all the high-end cameras come with inbuilt geotagging by default. It allows to capture and embed the GPS coordinates automatically. Earlier, High-end cameras come with the option of connecting an external GPS module to the camera. Geotagging is the process by which camera records the GPS coordinates of the photo location with the help of an external or an inbuilt GPS.
