What is EXIF Data
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a metadata standard automatically embedded in image files by digital cameras and smartphones when taking photos. This data contains important information about shooting parameters, device details, time, location, and more.
Common EXIF Information Types
- Camera Information: Device model, manufacturer, firmware version
- Shooting Parameters: Aperture, shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, focal length, exposure compensation
- Time Data: Capture date/time, modification time, timezone information
- Geographic Location: GPS coordinates, altitude, direction (if location enabled)
- Image Attributes: Resolution, color space, compression method, orientation
- Copyright Information: Author, copyright statement, software info
