230 „ Countries and Regions Permitting GPS Function Use Use of GPS function is restricted in some countries and regions, and illegal use may be punishable under national or local regulations. To avoid violating GPS func tion regulations, visit the Canon Web site to check where the use is allowed. Note that Canon cannot be held li able for any problems arising from GPS function use in other countries and regions. „ Model Number EOS 5D Mark IV (WG) : DS126601 (including GPS module model: ES300) In certain countries and regions, the use of GPS function may be restricted. Therefore, be sure to use GPS function in accordance with the laws and regulations of your country or region. Be particularly careful when using GPS function outside your home country. Be careful about using GPS function where the operation of electronic devices is restricted. Others may be able to locate or identify you by using location data in your geotagged pictures or movies. Be careful when sharing these geotagged images, movies or GPS log files with others, such as when posting them online where many people can view them. GPS signal reception may take a longer time in some cases. Hereby, Canon Inc., declares that this DS126601 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. Please contact the following address for the original Declaration of Conformity: CANON EUROPA N.V.

231 To acquire GPS signals, take the camera outside where the sky is unobstructed. Face the top of the camera toward the sky while keeping your hands, etc. away from the camera top. When the signal acquisition conditions are good, it will take the camera approx. 30 sec. to 60 sec. to acquire the GPS satellite signals after you set [ GPS ] to [Mode 1 ] or [Mode 2 ]. Check that [ r] is displayed on the LCD panel, then shoot. 1Select [GPS settings]. Under the [ 54] tab, select [ GPS settings ], then press < 0>. 2Select the mode. Select [ Mode 1 ] or [Mode 2 ]. X [r ] will be displayed on the LCD panel. Mode 1 The camera will continue to receiv e GPS signals at regular intervals even when the power switch is set to < 1> or < 2>. Mode 2 When the power switch is set to < 1>, the camera will receive GPS signals. When the power switch is set to < 2>, the GPS function will also turn off. However, if auto power off is in effect, the camera will continue to receive GPS signals at regular intervals. Acquiring GPS Signals
Acquiring GPS Signals 232 The GPS acquisition status is indicated by the [r] icon displayed on the camera’s LCD panel. Constant r: Signal acquired Blinking r: Signal not acquired yet When you shoot while [ r] is constantly displayed, the image will be geotagged. GPS Acquisition Status When [ Mode 1 ] is set, the camera will continue to receive GPS signals at regular intervals even when the power switch is set to < 2>. Therefore, the battery will drain faster and fewer shots can be taken. If you will not use the camera for a prolonged period, set to [ Disable]. When [ Mode 2 ] is set, the camera will continue to receive GPS signals at regular intervals even during auto power off. Therefore, if auto power off is prolonged, the battery will drain faster and fewer shots can be taken. If you will not use the camera for a prolonged period, set the power switch to < 2 >. The built-in GPS antenna is located in front of the hot shoe on the right when viewed from the back of the camera (p.28). The GPS signal can be acquired while an external Speedlite is attached to the hot shoe, but the acquisition sensitivity will slightly decrease. GPS Receiver GP-E2 (sold separately) cannot be used.
233 Acquiring GPS Signals Poor GPS CoverageUnder the following conditions, the GPS satellite signal will not be properly acquired. As a result, the geotag information may not be recorded or inaccurate geotag information may be recorded. Indoors, underground, in tunnels or forests, between buildings, or in valleys. Near high-voltage power lines or mobile phones operating on the 1.5 GHz band. When the camera is left inside a bag, etc. When traveling a long distance. When traveling through different environments. Since GPS satellites move as time passes, satellite movement can interfere with geotagging and cause missing or inaccurate location information even in conditions other than the above. Additionally, the location information may also include a different location information with the route traveled even if the camera was used at just one location. The battery level may be low when you start using the camera due to the effect of the GPS function. If necessary, recharge the battery or prepare a charged, spare battery (sold separately). The camera can receive GPS signals ev en when shooting in the vertical orientation.
Acquiring GPS Signals 234 1Check the [GPS] setting. Check that [ GPS] is set to [ Mode 1] or [ Mode 2 ]. 2Select [GPS information display]. XThe GPS information will be displayed. 3Take the picture. When you shoot after GPS signal acquisition, the image will be geotagged. Viewing GPS Information Generally, elevation is not as accurate as latitude and longitude due to the nature of GPS. The icon indicates signal conditions. When is displayed, the elevation is also recorded. Note that the elevation cannot be recorded when < B> is displayed. UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is essentially the same as Greenwich Mean Time.
235 Acquiring GPS Signals Play back the images and press the button to display the shooting information screen (p.398). Then tilt < 9> up or down to check the geotag information. Geotagging Information Latitude ElevationLongitude UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) When you shoot a movie, the GPS information at the time when shooting begins is recorded. Note that signal reception conditions are not recorded. Shooting locations can be viewed on a map displayed on a computer, using the Map Utility (EOS software, p.598).
236 The interval (time) to update the geotag information can be set. Although updating the geotag information at shorter intervals will record more accurate location information, it will reduce the number of possible shots because it will drain the battery faster. 1Check the [GPS] setting. Check that [ GPS] is set to [ Mode 1] or [ Mode 2 ]. 2Select [Position update intvl]. 3Set the desired update interval. Select the desired update interval, then press < 0>. Setting the Posi tioning Interval If you are in a location where the GP S acquisition condition is not good, the number of possible shots will decrease. The nature of GPS may cause some inconsistency in update intervals.
237 The time information obtained from GPS signals can be set on the camera. The margin of error is approx. ±1 sec. 1Check the [GPS] setting. Check that [ GPS] is set to [ Mode 1] or [ Mode 2 ]. 2Select [Auto time setting]. 3Select the desired setting. Select [ Auto update ] or [Set now ], then press < 0>. [Auto update ] updates the time when the camera is turned on and a GPS signal is received. Setting Time from GPS on the Camera If signals from at least five GPS satellites cannot be acquired, the time cannot be auto updated. [ Set now] will be grayed out and not selectable. Even if [ Set now ] can be selected, updating the time may not be possible due to an unfavorable timing of the GPS signal acquisition. When [ Auto time setting ] is set to [Auto update ], the date or time cannot be manually set with [ 52: Date/Time/Zone ]. If you use Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E7 (Ver. 2/sold separately) and do not want to change the time after implementing [ Sync time between cameras ], set [Auto time setting ] to [Disable ] in step 2.
238 When using the GPS logging function, the geotag information of the route the camera travels is automatically recorded in the camera’s internal memory. With Map Utility (EOS software, p.598), you can view the shooting locations and the route traveled on a map displayed on a computer. 1Check the [GPS] setting. Check that [ GPS] is set to [ Mode 1] or [ Mode 2 ]. 2Select [GPS Logger]. 3Set [Log GPS position] to [Enable]. Select [ Log GPS position ], then press < 0>. Select [ Enable], then press < 0>. X [x ] will be displayed on the LCD panel. Logging the Route Traveled Map data ©2016 ZENRIN With [ GPS] set to [ Mode 1], the GPS logging function will continue to work even while the power switch is set to < 2>. When [ Mode 2 ] is set, setting the power switch to < 2> will also turn off the GPS logging function. However, the GPS logging function will continue to work during auto power off.
