Nikon Exif Reporting

Andy

Thought I'd pass something along:

We've had a devil of a time with Nikon DSLR EXIF. Depending on how you process, the info is caught by SmugMug correctly or incorrectly.

viz:


While I was reviewing Lightoom by Adobe I found something interesting:

Nikon D50, processed in Adobe Lightroom
(note proper shutter speed, 1/640th sec, AND ISO is reported)

Nikon D50, processed in Adobe Photoshop
(15 seconds shutter speed?)

We will continue to investigate...

Interesting. I've never had a problem with accurate EXIF data from either my D2X or D70. I have used PSE 2,3,4 and now CS2 (chronic Adobe donor).

d100 - no ISO
If I upload jpg pics direct from my D100, the ISO is not visible in smugmug. apparently it is stored in an unexpected area of the exif. But, now that I shoot raw, I use Raw Shooter Essentials, and when it creates the jpg, it is smart enough to put the ISO in the right place so smugmug sees it. so you can't assume where the iso is just based on the camera model.... right now, I am happy since my iso info is visible.

Another example:
http://www.smugmug.com/photos/newexif.mg?ImageID=57714443
shows 222222 (2222222/10) seconds shutter speed. The actual speed is It's 1/45th of a second (0.02222222....) seconds.

I tried some other exif extracting software, and they report they 1/45 without problems. When i open this JPEG with notepad, this exif-info is displayed:
<exif:ExposureTime>2222222/100000000</exif:ExposureTime>
