How to Batch Select, Favorite, and Delete Photos in GeoCam

The problem

A camera that stamps every shot invites you to shoot a lot, because it costs nothing and each photo is self-documenting. After a site visit you have 150 pictures, and 60 of them are near-duplicates, test shots and accidents. Deleting them one by one is dull enough that most people don’t, so the real record is buried in clutter.

A messy gallery has a practical cost: when you need a photo urgently, you can’t find it.

What helps

Cull right after the shoot, while you still remember what each shot was for.

• Select mode lets you tap many photos and act on them together.
• Delete removes the selection in one go.
• Favourites mark the shots that matter, and they feed the stats on your home screen.
• Share from the detail view sends one photo with its stamp intact.

A routine that works

1. Open the gallery straight after the shoot.
2. Mark the keepers as favourites first. It’s easier to spot rejects when the good ones are already set aside.
3. Enter select mode and tick the rejects. Scan thumbnails for blurry shots, duplicates and accidental frames.
4. Delete them.
5. Share from the detail view of the ones that need to go out.

Careful with

• Deleting is for real. Do it when you’re sure. If you need an audit trail for a job, keep everything and use favourites and projects instead.
• Work photos: if you use auto backup (Pro), remember it copies captures to your Files or iCloud Drive folder, so the backup is your safety net.
• Share the stamped photo, not a screenshot. A screenshot of the viewer includes the interface, not a clean image.

FAQ

Can I delete several photos at once? Yes. Select several in the gallery and delete them in one action.

What do favourites do? They’re surfaced separately and counted in your stats, so your best shots are quick to find.

How do I share one photo? Open its detail view and share from there. The shared image keeps its stamped context.
