exif data on camera

from the thread i posted earlier , a couple of people have said where is
the all exit data for the piccies. Im wondering this to.

Is there a option you have to tick in the camera to get it??


i remember when i had my canon g2 the images from that use to come with a
text file detailing all the exif data - shutter speed, aperture, expose, iso
etc. - but i use to have the g2 d/l the images direct to the computer via
its own usb cable and also through its own canon software.

these days I use a card reader to get the inmages from the memory card to
the computer and they go straight to a folder on my harddrive unmodified.

any changes (usually just resizing) i make are usually done in paint shop
pro 7 and then the file is saved with a new name.

am i doing something wrong here ????

cheers dave

Most (all?) cameras these days generate EXIF data automatically; it's
saved inside the JPEG image files. To access the information, you need
software that knows how to pull the fields out of the image file.

I'm on a Mac; iPhoto knows how to access a few of the fields, and I use
a program called EXIF Viewer to look at the full set. I'm sure there are
similar things available on the PC; a Google on 'EXIF' should turn up
ample information.

If you're on windows, right click the file and go to properties. Click
the summary tab and then the advanced button. A fair bit of the Exif
data is stored there (all the basic stuff anyway).

Also, if you search the web, there are a large number of utilities that
will extract exif data, along with the specific bits from your camera
manufacturer.

Cheers,
Dave

If using XP, maybe.
In 2000, aside from dimensions, all you get is stuff you key in yourself...

YMMV

irfanview is your friend.

Actually, Photoshop is *my* friend. Others may disagree. :-)

Nothing wrong with PS, just overkill for what is being talked about here.

I wasn't *actually* suggesting that anyone would buy PS just to read EXIF
data.
Sheesh.
Maybe he has it already.

Now, I'm off to sit in my car, 'cause its got a great stereo system.

Given the information you request in your previous posts and now in this one,
I'd say you are in over your head. Perhaps a simpler, less
knowledge-intensive hobby would be more to your liking.
