Image information

Well this suggestion seems to have been actioned pretty quickly. Both focal length and aperture showing.......is it a good idea or not....you tell me!!!

I think this is useful info, the inclusion of ISO setting is certainly helpful for those users who are progressing from 'Full Auto' to 'M' or 'AV' and need to manually select the appropriate ISO setting for their shots. 

It has been interesting to go through quite a few photos. As for my own while my Canon D-slr's show the aperture used( as well as an assortment of compact/bridge cameras ) Five Nikon D-slr's from 1999 to near present, all show the maximum aperture of the lens being used instead. 

The addition of ISO speeds is interesting to see what other people are setting on their cameras. For myself, it's also depentdent on the camera being used as well as the lighting conditions. Most of the time my cameras are set to AV/aperture priority, 1/3rd stop under exposure. as a starting point. ISO setting depends on the camera and/or lens being used, as well as the lighting conditions.

As for flash indoors--- camera on manual ISO 800. 1/60th at F4 is my starting point.  

Hi guys

The code base used to handle the exif data is old and support for it stopped quite a few years ago. We are therefore going to switch to a new uptodate system for reading the data which will allow us to show more options, such as lens type used etc.

While we try and sort this out and get it working (not an overnight job) please could you list what data you'd like to see, e.g Max Aperture value, Exposure time, ISO speed etc etc.

Many thanks as this will be a big help!

Hi Dave

I don't think having the extra camera/image data available will detract from the enjoyment people get from the images on show. Could be wrong of course but It'll just be there for those who are interested, and those who aren't will simply ignore it.

We'll perhaps present it in a format where we show the main info followed by a link/hover for those who want to know more.

Anyway cheers for your input, it's appreciated.

Funnily enough just as I'd pressed the button I was thinking along these same lines. Maybe show the lens configuration...10-20, 18-55 as my original idea but certainly a link / hover 'EXIF' might be preferable. A lot will not be interested in the EXIF and probably an equal number don't even know what it is ! ! !

The point I was making was on Nikon D-slr's of all mine and those of others I've looked at, it's currently reading the wrong line on the Exif thus not showing the aperture used on a particualr image; an oddity that's occured on this brand.

I think the basic info is quite adequate as suggested above.
