Can photo (time and f-stop) info be recorded automatically?

I wonder if some digital cameras record the time and f-stop for each
photo which is taken automatically. How do people keep the time and f-
stop on their pictures? I don't recall that these data are recorded in
the jpeg file that are created... or does it need a special software
to capture them?
Thanks for info

Most cameras record this information in the EXIF header in the JPEG file. A
convenient way to see this info is to use the free Irfanview software.

The camera stores the information in the EXIF header, Exifer is a
great tool to view them: http://www.friedemann-schmidt.com/software/exifer/
Alternatively, services like Webshots do display them if the picture
includes an EXIF header: http://travel.webshots.com/photo/257...37002407mbEHcn

I second this. Pretty all photo software (from Irfanview to Picasa to
Flickr) will display EXIF info.

Hi

Even Windows can display most of the Exif Data.
Highlight the image Icon, R.Click, Properties then Summary.

Or windows explorer . Right click Properties Summery tab and the advanced
button. You can also download the free Microsoft power toy "Photo
Information" tool for XP that lets you edit the exif and add tags. I think
that's all built in to Vistas explore

That is 'metadata' which is automatically recorded by virtually every
digital camera - even my 6 year old Kodak DC210+.

Amazing how far Windows has come!

iPhoto on your Mac, for ease of use. Get Info [Cmd-I] will produce some
useful info: Shutter speed and focal length. GraphicConverter, excellent
shareware also does it, as do Lightroom, Photoshop and PS Elements.

With the right camera, you can even get longitude, latidude,
elevation, and direction for geocoding to maps.
