Canon Academy

In this quick tip, we show you how to geotag your photos using the Canon Camera Connect app—so you can keep track of exactly where each shot was taken. Whether you're capturing street scenes or documenting your travels, this handy feature adds GPS location data to your images automatically.

To get started, simply connect your camera to the Canon Camera Connect app via Bluetooth. Then, tap Functions at the bottom of the app screen and select Location Information (look for the satellite icon). Allow the app to access your phone’s location, then follow the instructions on-screen or tap Camera Operation in the app.

Next, press your camera’s Menu button, navigate to GPS Device Settings, and set the GPS device to Smartphone. Return to the app to confirm the status now says “Sending to Camera.”

From this point on, every photo you take will include general location data from your phone—perfect for organizing your images, building visual travel stories, or retracing your creative journey.

Before long, you’ll be mapping your photography adventures with just a few taps!
