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 |

Thanks for info 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 |

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 |

Pete I generally look at the EXIF data in File Viewer Utility which came with my camera but this post encouraged me to experiment and I notice that many photos on the web can be downloaded to read their EXIF data which is good for newcomers to learn some basic simple techniques.

It's really no secret. One 'quick and dirty' way to see all the info is with the 'strings' command on unix or linux. |

As I recall there were a few film cameras (Contax 35mm and
645?) that could record this info between frames as well. darkroommike marrer wrote: ray wrote: On Wed, 27 Jun 2007 21:10:31 -0700, aniramca wrote: I wonder if some digital cameras record the time and f-stop for each photo which is taken automatically.
