Bernd B. Posted February 13, 2021 Share #103 Posted February 13, 2021 Just tried it once again: newest version of the Foto-app on my iPhoneX, Leica SL2 with FW 2.0 - saw the WLan-sign, saw the Bluetooth-sign, took some photos and once again: no GPS in exif-data. Folks, let‘s see it clearly: this app is a dead horse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beewee Posted February 13, 2021 Share #104 Posted February 13, 2021 Can someone test the app with the Q2? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoworks Posted February 13, 2021 Share #105 Posted February 13, 2021 Just Tested the Q2 and still works , GPS is in the EXIF data Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beewee Posted February 13, 2021 Share #106 Posted February 13, 2021 I’m guessing both the SL2 and SL2-S FW needs an update to make things work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernd B. Posted February 13, 2021 Share #107 Posted February 13, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I do not think it is the firmware only. See, Leica promised and advertised the GPS-system working with the Leica-app, when the SL2 came to market. But they never made the app work properly. There may be problems e.g. when the iphone goes to sleep - anyway, I use a simple geo-tagging app, upload the file to my Onedrive and import it to Lightroom. This works and saves time and nerves.

beewee Posted February 13, 2021 Share #108 Posted February 13, 2021 The SL2/SL2-S geotagging issue has gotten me wondering... has anyone who owns an SL2/SL2-S ever managed to see EXIF location data in geotagged photos when paired with the FOTOS app?

Bernd B. Posted February 13, 2021 Share #109 Posted February 13, 2021 Yes, I did. When I pair app and SL2, sometimes (!) Geo-Data are written to Exif: Works for about 2 or 3 photos and then it‘s over, even when I see Bluetooth/Satellite-isymbol on my display of the SL2.

beewee Posted February 13, 2021 Share #110 Posted February 13, 2021 Interesting. So far, I’ve managed to consistently get the bluetooth and GPS icons displayed on the SL2-S but have yet to see a single photo with location data written to EXIF.

FYI - On the Q2 there are 2 shades Bluetooth and GPS icons - a white one when connected, and a grey one when not connected. You have to look closely to see the difference.

You have to look closely to see the difference. I should clarify that the top display only shows the bright Bluetooth logo. However, the EVF and rear display also shows the Bluetooth logo as well while in photo capture mode. Strangely, this one is almost always grey. I’ve seen the very odd flicker to white but it’s very brief and fleeting. I now wonder if this is indicating that the camera has flakey bluetooth connectivity. I still don’t get how I can have a grey Bluetooth logo on the EVF/display and a GPS icon indicating there’s location info at the same time, while the EXIF data having no location data. This seems quite contradictory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
budjames Posted February 14, 2021 Share #116 Posted February 14, 2021 I tried using Fotos 2 with my SL2 during vacation travels. Unfortunately, for the reasons mentioned above, this is no a reliable or workable solution as my camera may be turned of or go into standby regularly. Having the reestablish the bluetooth connection is a pain. I just take a snapshot to the location with my iPhone. When I get home, I use PhotoMechanic 6 to cull images and add the location info. When I then import the images in the Capture One Pro 21, the GPS information comes with the images along with color and star ratings. Not as good as the camera recording the GPS info real time, but it works. PhotoMechanic adds the GPS information, color and star ratings to the DNG without the need to create an XML sidecar file. Afterwards, images import to any program (Apple Photos, etc) retain the GPS information. Pretty cool.

Bernd B. Posted February 19, 2021 Share #117 Posted February 19, 2021 Just coming home from a studio-shooting (as usual with a pretty girl who is young and needs the money 😇😂) and was really curious because I had used the new version of the Foto-App (with GPS turned always on) on my iPhone (with everything „always on“ for Leica-App). What can I tell you? As I expected: not one single photo has been tagged with the GPS data, even so there the GPS-logo and the BluRay-logo both were visible on the top-screen of my Leica SL2 and the GPS was enabled in the app. Hey, Leica, this sucks!

I know this forum is mainly centered around gear discussions but this is a reason diversity is lacking so I have to mention it. 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernd B. Posted February 19, 2021 Share #119 Posted February 19, 2021 You won‘t recognize irony even if it is biting you? 🤔 I only tried to make a joke. And frankly, I do not care that much if you like it or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beewee Posted February 19, 2021 Share #120 Posted February 19, 2021 Regardless whether it was in jest or not, it was done in poor taste. One can claim ‘locker room talk’ but it neither justifies nor does it make it any more acceptable that a group of human beings are being singled out and their unfortunate situation is being made light as a joke for the entertainment/enjoyment of others. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
