Geo-location on the R100

In a previous post about my new Canon R100 I wrote.

One feature of the iPhone I have liked for when taking photographs is the geo-location data which is added to the images. The Canon EOS R100 doesn’t have built in GPS, but in theory you can use the Canon Connect app on the iPhone to add GPS data to the photographs you have taken with the R100. When I recently took the camera to Portishead I forgot to do this.

On a recent walk to Sand Bay I remembered to start the Canon app on the iPhone and I took a range of photographs and the GPS data (from the phone) was embedded into the images.

Charging to 100%

I have recently charged the Funky Cat to 100% a couple of times this week, and the results were very similar at 167 and 168.

Considering it is cold, and  I have been using the heater (and pre-heating) in the cold weather, these predicted ranges are better than I would have expected. Both times I charged using a standard 13amp three pin socket.

Some GPS thoughts on the Canon EOS R100

I have not really had a lot of time and opportunity to take advantage of my new camera. However when I have used it, I have learnt new things about it and how it works. One feature of the iPhone I have liked for when taking photographs is the geo-location data which is added to the images. The Canon EOS R100 doesn’t have built in GPS, but in theory you can use the Canon Connect app on the iPhone to add GPS data to the photographs you have taken with the R100. When I recently took the camera to Portishead I forgot to do this. I must try this next time I am out and about with my camera.

Granny Charging to 100%

I have been using my granny charger a lot more since moving house. A granny charger is one you can plug into a standard normal houshold 3 pin outlet/

Though it is very slow, last night I left it charging the Funky Cat to 100%. It is charging around 2-3 kWh, which is much slower than the rapid and fast chargers I normally use. Took about twelve hours to get from 45% to 100%.

Of course it is cheaper as well at 25p kWh.

My predicted range is 173 miles, which I think is quite good, considering the cold weather and I have been using the heater a lot.
