If you click the above thumbnail you will see the pictures I took, the video files, some THM files (one per video that the 7D creates which are actually jpeg previews for the video files when on the camera) and the QR code picture. I always copy the images onto the computer, I have a dedicated folder where my Raw images are stored and within this folder I create a sub-folder for each shoot I name the folder “YYYY-MM-DD Location or Name of Shoot”, in this case it was “ Hartsholme Park”: Once back at home I switched on the computer ready to ingest my newly captured photos.

I packed the gear back into the car and drove home. Each trip is stored on the phone and the Geocodes captured can be reviewed as follows: I clicked the Export button and the phone’s display shows a QR code, you take a picture of the QR code:Īfter this you can click the exit button (at which point the GPS switches off). Once I finished my photo-shoot, I walked back to the car, removed the iPhone from my trouser pocket amd navigated back to the still running gps4cam application. I exited the car and set-up my tripod and went round the area of the park I like taking pictures. Then clicked the “Start a New Trip” button, the iPhone now captures the GPS coordinates and the phone can be switched off and put back in your pocket:

I selected the precise setting, I was only going to be an hour or so. I drive to the destination (in this case it was Hartsholme Park), just before I exit the car I switch on my iPhone (note that this was fully charged, the GPS can use a lot of battery power).

I’ll explain how to use it by discussing my picture taking and ingesting work flow. Instead, you take a picture of a QR code (on the iPhone’s display) at the end of the shoot.

Then I found gps4cam this software does not require you to sync your camera’s and iPhone’s clocks. All of these require that the iPhone clock and the DSLR clock are set to the same time, this frankly seemed very clumsy to me.

I have also looked at the various apps available for my iPhone which of course has a full GPS built in. Canon seem to be in no rush to come up with something and all of the devices available require a lot of syncing and frankly messy work. I have been looking for something for Canon DSLR’s that achieved the same result. Nikon have a device that works with most of their SLR’s called the Nikon GP-1 GPS Module: this uses the cameras power and adds the geotag data to the EXIF information as the picture is taken, the device is quite small and uses the AUX data port on Nikon cameras, it can sit in the hot-shoe or clip to the camera strap: One thing that I miss from my Nikon days was not being able to geotag my photos. I don't know of a way to geotag photos while they are on your phone.I went to Hartsholme on Sunday for 2 reasons, the main reason to photograph the wildlife – something I really enjoy and secondly to try out some new software that I purchased for my iPhone. Then you can use a program like GeoSetter in Windows, which will allow you to use that GPS track file to set the latitude and longitude of the relevant photos. That will give you GPS track files (.kmz and. When finished recording, you save and share your track (email it to yourself). Then you need to save your photos to a computer and run their small program which geotags all the photos taken while gps4cam was recording data by saving it to the EXIF data of the photo file.Īnother way is to record your GPS track with a mobile app like MotionX-GPS. You take a photo of a QR code on the app so that time can be synced later. It's an app that records your location while it runs, and creates a file. If your phone can't save geolocation in the photos, and you want to automatically geotag future photos, then you will need to use something like gps4cam (mobile app). Do you have this data in some form already? If you want to do it for previously taken photos, automatically, you would need to have recorded your location and time somehow for that to be possible - such as with apps that allow recording GPS tracks.

This smartphone doesn't add geo-location to the EXIF data automatically when the photo is taken? You might want to check settings to see if you can enable it because it's a common thing.
