Re: [OSM-talk] I ordered my first personal camera so I can do 'photomapping' or 'geotagging'
Yesterday I ordered my first camera(Nikon Coolpix L19). Mostly with the purpose of taking photos while I have a gps along with me, to later geotag photos with josm and later use the pictures as sources for street names or Points of Interest. Does anyone have that camera? I was a bit unsure whether to buy it or if I should ask first here if anyone has it, but as I read it supports exif 2.2 and memory cards(SD) I'm familiar with I decided to buy it without asking/mentioning first. Just wanted to share. I don't have one, but I've looked at image files from a nikon s210, which I'm sure has similar firmware. So it's virtually certain that the camera will be straightforwardly usable for creating geotagged phtotos. My advice: set the camera clock in UTC (regardless of where you live; it's the One True Timezone :-) Before going out geotagging, set the clock, because if it's right you can either skip or have an easier time with the time sync issue. take a picture of the GPS receiver's time before and after your session (of course your GPS receiver should be set to display in UTC as well, but this is only for your benefit) figure out how to deal with timezones with your geotagging setup I would use exiftool calling it as TZ=UTC exiftool install exiftool and read the man page; it is set up to geotag the images from a gpx file. Or you can use the builtin support in josm. pgpzWvQfVrgVM.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

HTH, The Canon PowerShot camera series comes to mind. I have an S5IS, and play around a little with it, but haven't done any development work. With the CHDK (Canon Hacker's Development Kit) you can do all sorts of things inside the camera, such as run a script to detect motion, set speed/aperture outside the manufacturer's default ranges, and convert the USB input into a remote camera trigger. I can conceive (although I haven't into it) that you might be able to insert a script that would accept GPS position data through the camera USB port, and write it in the EXIF data on each photo as it is taken. It might be worth a look to anyone interested in this with the time to investigate.

I leave my camera on winter time and make a 10 hour adjustment in the GUI, then a few seconds change after that as needed, in a separate box in the GUI. Of course this person may not be using Linux and need some other program. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
