ISO, Shutter Speed and ISO Information advice.

[Crompton Karl]

Hi Everyone,

I have a Canon EOS400D, have only used it a few times and am now trying to get more involved in it. Here is my question.....

Does anyone know how to retrieve the information from the image file (if it is stored at all) from the image of what ISO, Shutter Speed, and Fstop was used to take the image?

I ask this as i had forgotten to note them down on some quick succession shots i took and would like to know.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Karl

Download http://www.opanda.com/en/iexif/index.html and you can read data from any photo (that have the Exif data stored)
It will tell you focal length, ISO,shutter speed and most other settings from any camera, not just your own.

The 350D stores a vast amount of information in the exif. I can't see why the 400D would be any different. It even records things like which focusing points were in focus. You'll probably need to use zoombrowser to make sense of some of this.

Thanks ChrisM I'll give Opanda a go.

Compsci, i'm sure my 400D does the same but i just dont know how to access the information, but if this Opanda works i will be a happy fella.

Thanks to the both of you.

Or you can do it in windows explorer.

Re: Crompton Karl

You should have received a copy of Canon's "ZoomBrowser" on the disc supplied. When you click and open a photo in Zoombrowser you will see an icon along the top with 'Show' to the right. Click on the Icon or 'Show' and every photo you open from then on will show the complete list of info you require about that picture.

If you haven't installed Zoombrowser I recommend that you do. It is very good and includes a photo editor where you can correct Brilliance, Contrast, Colour etc and also Crop, and auto-adjust an over or under exposed photo.

Cheers.

If you shoot in RAW it should as when i hang the mouse over a RAW from my 350d it gives all details

Here is a couple of examples of using ZoomBrowser. Thsi is of the Lifeboat at Broughty Ferry, near Dundee. It was a bit misty and in zoom mode the exposure was a bit high. AutoAdjust did a nice job of correcting the contrast....

You can also see the 'Show' Icon and the picture info.

Cheers.

It can also be useful to install the MS RAW image viewer so that windows explorer shows something more useful than a question mark when you view thumbnails. It can be found here. This is also useful for allowing friends and family to view RAW images so you don't have to convert them.

microsoft photo info also does the job - works on JPEG, TIFF, WDP, HDP (HD Photo), NEF, CR2, and CRW files

Thanks everyone, I do have ZoomBrowser and have been able to sucessfully find out the ISO, shutter speeds etc

One day i will read these instructions

Good thing about Opanda is that you can see what settings other people used as it reads all settings from all cameras.
