Continuous shooting info in EXIF (20D)

[jacwo]

Hi All,

I have noticed that when I am shooting in continuous mode with my 20D, the EXIF info records the following:

Drive mode: Continuous: frame 1

Does the frame 1 part actually refer to frame 1 of 5 (given that the 20D does 5fps)??

However, I have checked all my pics and they all seem to say frame 1, when obviously they are not...

Does anyone know what this actually means?

Cheers
Jacky

What software are you reading this in? I'm not seeing a frame number in either DPP or EOS Viewer. I'm not seeing anything after "Drive mode contiuous". Perhaps it has something to do with bracketing?

Like Ron says - different software translates exifs in different ways. If you use zoombrowser or mac equivalent you will see the correct translation.

Zoom Browser and EOS Viewer Utility are showing only "Continuous shooting" under drive mode, while Breeze Browser is showing "Continuous: frame 1" (for all frames). I was expecting that Exif info will be something like "frame 1", "frame 2" etc. in regard to the frame number in the burst, but seems that Canon cameras are not recording that data in Exif. :(

I would think any proprietary Canon EXIF data would be picked up by the Canon software, Breeze Systems wouldn't have any access to CR2 file data that Canon wouldn't so the frame count may well be something used for other camera makes or models by Breeze not available in the Canon DSLRs and therefore labels them all as frame one when continuous is detected.

Thanks guys!

Yes I was using BreezeBrowser pro v1.3.2. So it looks like Canon EXIF does not actually record frame no.'s ....

Oh well...

Thanks again all!
