The real advantage of EXIF data is that can be universally recognised and understood by 99.9% of software tools.Īs digital photography progressed, and cameras added new features and functions (e.g. The field names are already defined and manufacturers must conform to them. Unlike EXIF, it is not as widely used – manufacturers can decide if they want to include XMP data.ĮXIF is an older format and is more limited in what it can store. Extensible Metadata Platform: a more recent format, developed by Adobe.All images captured with a digital camera typically contain some amount of EXIF data. EXIF (Exchangeable Image File): the “gold standard” of image metadata.Two of the most commonly used formats by camera manufacturers are: There are many different formats and standards of metadata in the world of photography. Metadata is any data that helps describe the content or characteristics of a file.įor image and video files, embedded metadata provides more information about the file, for example the camera model used to take the photo. I’ve talked previously about having to manually stitch GPS tracks into photos taken underwater (because GPS does not work below the surface) and about manually calculating (estimating) the direction the camera was facing in a time lapse capture when it is not recorded by the camera.īut where and how is this information stored? Metadata, EXIF, or XMP? It is this data that makes your photo library easier to browse, events are automatically grouped, and exposures auto corrected. This data often contains location, camera model, lens type, and general information about how the image was taken. Every photo you take, on any camera, is likely filled with metadata. Well that sounds boring, but it is actually very cool.
Here’s why it’s important for outdoor 360 street-level photography. Every photo you take is filled with metadata.
