The Canon GP-E2 GPS Receiver records GPS information like longitude, latitude, elevation, direction and Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) as EXIF data on photo files using a compatible EOS camera.

Features:

• Rugged Lightweight Design
• Location Information in EXIF File
• Can Act As Stand-Alone GPS Logger
• On-Board Electronic Compass
• Hot Shoe or USB Terminal Connectivity
• Runs on Convenient AA Batteries
• For the EOS 5D Mark III

This lightweight, compact unit can also serve as an electronic compass or a stand-alone GPS recorder. It was designed specifically for the EOS system, and offers USB and hot-shoe connections with the EOS 5D Mark III and the EOS-1D X (USB connection-only with the EOS 7D).

The GP-E2 offers the same level of dust- and weather-resistance as the EOS 5D Mark III camera when connected to the camera's hot-shoe. Dust- and weather-resistance decreases when it's connected to the camera via the USB cable. For simple and accurate recording of time and location information, the GP-E2 is an ideal complement to the EOS System.

The EOS 5D Mark III and EOS 7D require a firmware upgrade to be compatible with the GPS Receiver GP-E2, which will be available soon.

When the EOS 7D is used with the GP-E2 the following restrictions will apply: a) geotagging function will not work for movies while recording; b) geotagging features will not work for movies when using the Map Utility; c) electronic compass information and automatic time setting is not available; d) transmission via the hot shoe is not possible.

Additional Features:

• Rugged and lightweight design
• Records location information (longitude, latitude, elevation, direction, and universal coordinated time (UTC)) as EXIF information to images when shooting
• Can act as a stand-alone GPS logger
• On-board electronic compass
• Camera time can be synched by the built-in clock
• Uses a conveniently replaceable AA battery as its power source so no energy is drawn from the camera's battery
• Hot shoe or USB terminal connectivity
