Incorrect Camera and Lense Info for Exhibitions

[Alan Van Vliet]

I just did a fresh install of RC4. Everything appears to be in good working order.

However, I set default photo data for an exhibition, and some of the data is not what I entered for that specific exhibition. (Camera, lense, date, location, etc.) EXIF info is accurate.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Same problem with me. I know the EXIF in my jpegs is correct but display in EE shows D30 as the camera (I don't have a D30) for all photos. Seems to get the focal length right but the lens is wrong. Is there something in the setup that I need to change? Is there a manual way to correct these erros?

In "Photodata defaults" page you define the default entries for each exhibition. To make EE read camera from exif, you must have your camera(s) in camera database and then tick "guess camera" on upload page. Same for lens, photographer (owner), location and country.

Camera, location, country and owner guessing is usually quite accurate. Lens quessing might not be (there is no lens name data in EXIF).

Default data is used if the info is not there at all in EXIF or IPTC/XMP. So the data order is: default data -> fields found from image data -> guessed data if ticked on. This means e.g. if you enter a date in default data and EE finds a date in EXIF, the EXIF date is used.

PS. In next EE the upload system will let you edit the photo data for each uploaded photo, if you will, while uploading.

How far are You from a release?

No lens name in EXIF but EXIF does have the min and Max of the focal range which if used would make the "guessing" more accurate.

Not far.
