What is the use of the GPS of Canon SX230 camera?

The GPS function on Canon SX230HS camera is to set related coordinates such as latitude and longitude for photos. So you can record the time and place when this photo was taken. So that the landlord can remember the place where the photo was taken after the photo was taken. If he can't remember where the photo was taken in the future, he can check the latitude and longitude in the photo information to find the shooting location. But this is also my understanding according to the instructions, which may not be correct. That's probably what it means! But I don't recommend the landlord to turn on the GPS function, because the GPS function in the camera consumes a lot of power.

Brief introduction of digital camera GPS

As the name implies, a GPS digital camera is a camera that can record the latitude, longitude, altitude and other information of the current shooting location when taking pictures, but it should be noted that it is not completely equivalent to what we usually call GPS, at least no manufacturer has introduced this product yet. Basically, it can be divided into three categories:

1, cameras with built-in GPS function, such as these consumer cameras we are going to introduce today.

2. Cameras that realize GPS geographic information recording function by adding a GPS module, such as Canon and Nikon professional SLR, have corresponding GPS modules, and Sony also has corresponding module CS3KA for card cameras, which are not low in price and more professional in function.

3. Actually, it is not a GPS camera, but an ordinary camera uses Exif information modification tool to put useful coordinate information into photos without GPS information.

Canon IXUS230 expounds

Canon IXUS 230 HS adopts12 million effective pixel sensor, 8 times optical zoom, lens with equivalent focal length of 28-224mm, and the back of the machine is equipped with a 3-inch LCD screen with 460,000 pixels. At the same time, in order to improve the imaging quality, Canon IXUS 230 HS adopts high-sensitivity CMOS sensor and DIGIC4 processor combined with HS system. It can effectively reduce the noise generation under low light conditions, especially under high sensitivity. In addition, the camera also supports 1080p full HD video shooting and intelligent automatic mode, and supports high-speed continuous shooting with 8.7 frames per second.

I found some photos online, and the shooting effect is very good. Looking at the photos taken by this camera is very helpful for you to buy a camera and improve your photography skills.

Seen from above, the shooting effect of the three photos is very good. In particular, the photos of fireworks were taken by manually adjusting the settings without turning on the gas flash at night. I didn't see it earlier So it can be proved that the shooting effect of this camera is still very clear.
