GR Mint – FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Geotag Function

No. Pairing is only required for first-time use. Once pairing is complete, you can start using the Geotag function anytime by simply opening GR Mint and tapping the GPS icon.

Step 1: Enable Bluetooth on your camera
  1. Go to MENU → Bluetooth Setting → Action Mode
  2. Select either "On Anytime" or "On When Power Is On."
Tip: "On Anytime" allows connection even when the camera is off, but consumes more battery.
Step 2: Pair your phone with the camera
On your camera:
  • Go to MENU → Bluetooth Setting → Pairing → Execute Pairing
On your phone:
  1. Open the GR Mint app
  2. Make sure Bluetooth and Location Services are enabled
  3. When prompted for the first time, allow GR Mint to:
  4. Access Bluetooth devices
  5. Click the "Add Device" control area at the bottom
  6. Your camera appears in the list (ensure your camera has enabled Bluetooth pairing, if timed out, click the blue button to retry)
  7. Enter the authentication code displayed on your camera
Pairing is now complete!

  • Simply open GR Mint and tap the GPS icon, or enable auto-start in app settings
  • The Geotag function will start automatically.
  • No need to pair again unless you reset Bluetooth settings or switch to another device.

If pairing fails, try releasing the previous pairing on both the camera and the phone, then pair again.

On your camera:
  1. Go to MENU → Bluetooth Setting → Pairing → Paired Devices → Release Pairing
On your phone:
  1. Go to Settings → Bluetooth
  2. Find the camera in the list of devices
  3. Tap Forget This Device
After releasing, try pairing again following the normal steps.

Location Updates and Battery Optimization

The app updates your location only under certain conditions:

Time Intervals

At user-defined fixed time intervals – if the device has not moved

Distance Threshold

When the device moves beyond a set distance – determined by your settings

You can customize both the time interval and distance threshold in the app's Settings section.
This feature works only if the app remains active in the phone's background.
Additionally:
  • When the camera is powered on or a photo is taken, the app pushes real-time location information to the camera.
  • This ensures accurate geotags for every photo.
This design prevents continuous location tracking, reducing battery consumption while maintaining precise geotagging.
