Of course, I need to geo-tag the pictures so I use a separate GPS USB-sized stick which I've found very reliable. Having now upgraded to a Moto G5 plus phone I find the images taken by that very acceptable, typically for outdoor shots, but also for indoor shots of restaurant food. There's not 18 x 20 quality, of course, but adequate for my needs. My latest addition is a very compact P&S camera with a 30:1 zoom (Panasonic TZ90), the zoom overcoming the limitations of the phone! -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

Most phones have GPS included, perhaps your does not, or perhaps there's I checked again and in the photo settings, it was the very first one. I'd seen it and I'd either left it off or turned it off. Oh well. an option to enable geo-tagging in the EXIF data. Let's hope the new phone does. So then I looked in the new phone and I can't even find the settings for Camera. No, I found it, first tap Mode, then tap the little gear in the upper right. Save Location Info was on already but Add Time Stamp was off. I set it on. So thank you for posting. I would have had GPS but no time or date. Wait. Will this makde the time and date show on the picture? Ah, yes. Reading more closely, it says "in photo". I turned it back off. It's Android 7. something, and it's a Xiaomi phone, Redmi Note 4. On the main camera screen, it has a setting for flash, HDR, mode, still/motion, front/back, and Mode. For Mode iit has Panorama, Timer, Audio, Manual, Straighten (horizontally), Beautify, HHT, Scene, and Tilt-shift. That sure seems like a lot of settings, more than I can keep track of. For example, for Beautify, it has 2 choices when it's on, Show age and gender, or just Show age. Beaufify is set at the default, Medium. So I guess that means it will mediumly show their age and gender. I don't know where it is supposed to show it, though.

My camera doesn't have 30:1 and I forget what it has but it's still very good, and more than the prior one. |

Syncing GPX files from mobiles is the goto solution if your camera don't have integrated GPS. Put something like GPSLogger on your Android device: https://gpslogger.en.aptoide.com/ I see what you mean. It suggest 1-3 second intervals, but it seems to me it only needs to be that fast when I'm in the car. I only take a few pictures then. Most are taken when I'm walking around, so isn't 5 minutes good enough? At most that's a quarter mile, but more likely only a couple hundred feet. And sync with GPSPrune on your computer: https://activityworkshop.net/software/gpsprune/index.html Aha. Thanks again. |

I haven't tried it but maybe it displays on the screen then. |
