Geotagging Images as you Shoot.
Solution
Geotagging Images When You Shoot
(For Wi-Fi & Bluetooth enabled PowerShot cameras.)
Still images and movies you shoot can be geotagged using GPS information (such as latitude, longitude, and elevation) from a Bluetooth enabled smartphone. You can review the recorded GPS information on the camera. Using software, you can also view the locations on a map, with the still images and movies shown next to them.
 |
- Images are not geotagged this way unless Camera Connect is running.
- The GPS information added to your movie is acquired initially, when you start shooting.
- GPS information cannot be updated unless Wi-Fi is off.
- The GPS information added to images in remote live view shooting is acquired initially, when you switch to a Wi-Fi connection.
- Images may not be geotagged if you connect via NFC or Bluetooth when the camera is off.
- Others may be able to locate or identify you by using location data in your geotagged still images or movies. Be careful when sharing these images with others, as when posting images online where others can view them.
|
 |
- To check the GPS information acquired from the smartphone, choose MENU >
tab > [GPS settings] > [GPS information display].
- GPS acquisition status is indicated by one of the following icons.
