 Geotagging Images on the Camera
GPS data recorded on a smartphone using the dedicated CameraWindow 
application (=  124) can be added to images on the camera. Images are 
tagged with information including the latitude, longitude, and elevation\
.
• Before shooting, make sure the date and time and your home time 
zone are set correctly. (See “Setting the Date and Time” ( =
  15).) 
Additionally, in [Time Zone] ( =  153), specify any shooting 
destinations that are in other time zones.
•  The smartphone you will use for geotagging must be authorized to 
view the images on the camera ( =
  132, 136).
•  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 
many others can view them.
•  Even if images were imported to the computer through a different method, any 
images not sent to the computer via CANON iMAGE GATEWAY
 will be sent to 
the computer.
•  Sending is faster when the destination is a computer on the same network\
 
as the camera, because images are sent via the access point instead of 
CANON iMAGE GA TEWA
Y

. Note that images stored on the computer are 
sent to CANON iMAGE GATEWAY, so the computer must be connected to the 
Internet.
