Good Evening Folks,
How do you change a camera owners name in the shooting information file ? I can do it with jpegs, but when I open RAW files in DPP, it shows the original owner's name, and I can't change any information. Thank you :thumb
Have a good evening :D

    Jim, RAW files are difficult to change EXIF and "Maker Note" information (Metadata). This is intentional and protects the owner/original shooter copyright.

    You should change the user information in the camera so that it correctly records the user information into the RAW files. In order to change the user information in the 1D MKIII you use the "EOS Utilities" software with the camera connected to the computer via USB. Find the user name in the "Camera Settings" and change the name to your name or business name.
