      If GPS signals cannot be acquired, please confirm the points listed below.

      • GPS is set to [Disable] by default. To change the setting, set [GPS] to [Enable] in the menu’s [GPS Setting] option. For more details on configuring this setting, please refer to Acquiring GPS Signals (EOS 7D Mark II).

      • 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.

      NOTE
      • GPS signal reception may take a longer time in some cases.
      • The GPS antenna is built-in around the hot shoe. Although the GPS signal can be acquired while an external Speedlite is attached to the hot shoe, the acquisition sensitivity will slightly decrease.
      REFERENCE
      <Poor GPS Coverage>
      Under 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.
      • 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 geotag information even in conditions other than the above. Additionally, the geotag information may also include the route travelled even if the camera was used only at one location.
      IMPORTANT
      • In certain countries and regions, the use of GPS may be restricted. Therefore, be sure to use GPS in accordance with the laws and regulations of your country or region. Be particularly careful when using GPS outside your home country.
      • Be careful about using GPS functions where the operation of electronic devices is restricted.
