Although updating the geotag information at shorter intervals will record
more accurate location information, it will reduce the number of possible

Logging the Route Traveled
Geotag information for the route the camera travels is recorded at the
intervals set with [Position update intvl ] (p.236). The log data is saved
in the camera’s internal memory by date. The table below shows how
many days’ worth of data can be saved.
Log Data Capacity by Positioning Interval (Approx.)
* Based on 1 day equivalent to eight hours worth of log data.
The log data saved in the internal memory can be transferred as a
log file to a card (p.240).

239 Logging the Route Traveled Geotag information for the route the camera travels is recorded at the intervals set with [Position update intvl ] (p.236). The log data is saved in the camera’s internal memory by date. The table below shows how many days’ worth of data can be saved. Log Data Capacity by Positioning Interval (Approx.) * Based on 1 day equivalent to eight hours worth of log data. The log data saved in the internal memory can be transferred as a log file to a card (p.240). Log file names consist of the date and number (e.g. 16081800). A log file is created for each day. If the time zone changes (p.51), a new log file will be created. If the camera’s internal memory becom es full, the oldest log data will be erased, and the newest log data will be saved. When [ GPS] is set to [ Mode 1], the camera will continue to receive GPS signals at regular intervals even after the camera’s power switch is set to < 2 >. If [Mode 2 ] is set, the camera will continue to receive GPS signals at regular intervals even duri ng auto power off. The battery will thereby drain faster and the number of possible shots will decrease. Additionally, when [ Log GPS position] is set to [Enable], shorter update intervals will drain the battery more quickly. When you are not traveling or when GPS signals are weak, setting [GPS] to [Disable] is recommended.

Logging the Route Traveled 240 The log data in the camera’s internal memory can be downloaded to a computer with EOS Utility (EOS software, p.598) or downloaded from a card after transferring the data to the card. When you use Map Utility (EOS software, p.598) to open a log file saved on the computer, the camera’s tr avel route will be displayed on a map. Importing the log data using EOS software With the camera connected to a computer via the provided interface cable, you can download the log data to the computer with EOS Utility (EOS software). For details, refer to the EOS Utility Instruction Manual (p.600). Transferring the log data to a card for downloading When [ Transfer log data to card ] is selected, you can transfer the log data in the internal memory as log files to a CF card [ f] or SD card [ g]. Note that when log files are transferred to a card, that log data is erased from the camera’s internal memory. The log files imported to the card will be stored in the “GPS” folder in the “MISC” folder. The extension is “.LOG”. Selecting [ Delete log data ] will erase the log data saved in the internal memory. Erasing the data may take approx. one minute. Downloading Log Data to a Computer
241 Logging the Route Traveled When connecting the camera to a computer, use the provided interface cable or one from Canon (p.525). When connecting the interface cable, use the provided cable protector (p.38). The GPS antenna is located at the top of the camera body. For this reason, even when carrying the camera, such as in a bag, try to keep the top of the camera facing upwards, and do not place anything on top of it. Set the camera time and date as accura tely as possible. Also, set correct time zone and daylight saving time for the shooting location.
243 6 Advanced Operations for Photographic Effects In the < d>, < s>, < f >, < a >, and < F> modes, you can change various settings of the camera as you desire to obtain a wide variety of shooting results, by selecting the shutter speed and/or aperture, adjusting the exposure as you prefer, etc. A M icon at the upper right of a page title indicates a function that can be used only in the following modes: < d> < s > < F>. After you press the shutter button halfway and let go, the exposure settings will remain displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel for approx. 4 sec. ( 0) by the metering timer function. For the functions settable in each shooting mode, see page 536. Set the < R> switch to the left.
244 The camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture to suit the subject’s brightness. This is called Program AE. * stands for Program.* AE stands for Auto Exposure. 1Set the Mode Dial to < d>. 2Focus on the subject. Look through the viewfinder and aim the AF point over the subject. Then press the shutter button halfway. X When focus is achieved, the focus indicator < o> in the viewfinder will light up (in One-Shot AF mode). X The shutter speed and aperture will be set automatically and displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel. 3Check the display. The standard exposure will be obtained as long as the shutter speed and aperture displays do not blink. 4Take the picture. Compose the shot and press the shutter button completely. d: Program AE
245 d: Program AE If the “ 30” shutter speed and the lowest f/number blink, it indicates underexposure. Increase the ISO speed or use flash. If the “ 8000” shutter speed and the highest f/number blink, it indicates overexposure. Lower the ISO speed or use an ND filter (sold separately) to reduce the amount of light entering the lens. Differences Between < d> and < A> ModesIn the < A> mode, many functions, such as the AF operation and metering mode, are set automatically to prevent spoiled shots. The functions you can set are limited. With < d> mode, only the shutter speed and aperture are set automatically. You can freely set the AF operation, metering mode, and other functions (p.536). Program Shift In the Program AE mode, you can freely change the shutter speed and aperture combination (Program) set automatically by the camera while maintaining the same exposure. This is called Program shift. To shift the program, press the shutter button halfway, then turn the dial until the desired shutter speed or aperture is displayed. Program shift will be canceled automatically when the metering timer (0 ) ends (exposure setting display turns off). Program shift cannot be used with flash.
246 In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture to obtain the standard exposure matching the brightness of the subject. This is called shutter-priority AE. A faster shutter speed can freeze the acti on of a moving subject. A slower shutter speed can create a blurred effect, giving the impression of motion. * < s > stands for Time value. 1Set the Mode Dial to < s>. 2Set the desired shutter speed. While looking at the LCD panel or in the viewfinder, turn the < 6> dial. 3Focus on the subject. Press the shutter button halfway. X The aperture is set automatically. 4Check the viewfinder display and shoot. As long as the aperture is not blinking, the standard exposure will be obtained. s : Shutter-Priority AE Blurred motion (Slow shutter speed: 1/30 sec.) Frozen motion (Fast shutter speed: 1/2000 sec.)
247 s: Shutter-Priority AE If the lowest f/number blinks, it indicates underexposure. Turn the < 6> dial to set a slower shutter speed until the aperture stops blinking or set a higher ISO speed. If the highest f/number blinks, it indicates overexposure. Turn the < 6> dial to set a faster shutter speed until the aperture stops blinking or set a lower ISO speed. Shutter Speed Display The shutter speeds from “ 8000” to “4” indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed. For example, “ 125” indicates 1/125 sec. , “ 05 ” indicates 0.5 sec. and “ 15” is 15 sec.
248 In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to obtain the standard exposure matching the subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE. A higher f/number (smaller aperture hole) will make more of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus. On the other hand, a lower f/number (larger aperture hole) will make less of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus. * < f > stands for Aperture value (aperture opening). 1Set the Mode Dial to < f>. 2Set the desired aperture. While looking at the LCD panel or in the viewfinder, turn the < 6> dial. 3Focus on the subject. Press the shutter button halfway. X The shutter speed is set automatically. 4Check the viewfinder display and shoot. As long as the shutter speed is not blinking, the standard exposure will be obtained. f : Aperture-Priority AE Sharp foreground and background (With a high aperture f/number: f/32)Blurred background (With a low aperture f/number: f/5.6)
