EXIF is a data chunk embedded inside a JPEG or TIFF. It is used by nearly every |
6 |
digital camera manufacter out there presently. |

|

The data is usually a whole lot of parameters from the camera |
9 |
(fstop/focallength/exposurelength etc.) Also there is a thumbnail |
10 |
created by most cameras embedded inside the file (your camera uses this |
11 |
for the thumbnail directly), and there are a few applications that use |
12 |
it for the thumbnail as well (Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro on windows, not |
13 |
certain about linux). |

I'm told that WindowsXP has native support for reading EXIF data inside |
16 |
explorer, and shows the information in the status bar. |

Here are some example images of mine, with a small subset of the available |
19 |
info displayed below them. |
