    Where is EXIF data stored in an image file?


    Hello,

    There is often metadata stored with image files that are produced by digital cameras, things like camera model, GPS information, aperture size, whether the flash was on, etc.

    Where is this info stored?

    Is it in a header at the front of the file or a footer at the end?

    If so, is it possible to open an image file that has EXIF metadata stored in it in a hex editor, copy the EXIF data, and paste it into the appropriate area of another image file thereby faking an image's metadata...

    pictures and exif data in Windows

    Windows provides a view of EXIF information stored in an image file that is sufficient for most users.

    If you need a more detailed view of the EXIF data, why not download the free Adobe Bridge, which is the best free file manager especially written for Image management - it is available free form Adobe.com

  3. Nokia 6288 Exif data not captured

    Bummer! We just bought 2 nokia 6288 phones and come to find out that the Exif data: Date Picture Taken is not captured. Is there a firmware update or something I can download? I wonder if I'm doing something wrong. My firmware version is 05.92 07-09-06
    RM-78

    I've had several different digital cameras and they all store the date the picture was taken. This can be very useful since file create/modification date aren't always reliable. I also have some php scripts I use to post my pictures on a web site, and they
    make use of the Exif date the picture was taken.

    The following definition for Exif does say that that the data may include (then the list). Note that the date/time the picture was taken is normally considered the most important element (I think). Anyway, is there some way to get around this??? Any clues appreciated!

    Quote:

    EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format. It was developed by the Japanese Electronics Industry Development Association (JEIDA) in an effort to simplify and standardize the exchange of data between imaging devices and software. Exif is a variation of
    JPEG, used by almost all digital cameras to record extra interchange information to image files as they are taken. The type of information stored in a file varies by camera model, but it can include such things as date and time a photo was taken, resolution,
    camera settings used for the shot, amount of compression applied, color information, whether or not the flash was fired, shutter speed, name of the camera owner, and so on.

    The only Exif fields I see being captured are Camera Model.

    File Explorer EXIF data for .mpo files

    When using File Explorer and looking at details, the EXIF data is not displayed for files with the extension ".mpo". These are 3D picture files that essentially have a second ".jpg" in the file, one for the left eye view and one for the right eye view.

    I thought my camera wasn't creating the EXIF data but using an EXIF viewer I see all the data is there, just not displayed by Windows 7 or 10.

    Some specific data are Date Taken, Camera Model, and Camera Maker.

    These should be displayed for .mpo files the same as for .jpg files. Can this be fixed? If not, is there another folder viewer that would display selected EXIF data for .jpg and .mpo files?
