[paraman]

Hi,

I am new to this forum. found very informative.


I recently bought my 350D. Is it possible to transfer photos with the relative informations such as ISO, EV, Apperture, Shutter Speed Etc to the computer?



Thanks in advance

This is a default option but when you save to the PC but when you process to jpeg from CR2 you will loose it unles you save the file fullsize. Atleast I think that's how it works?

Paraman,

welcome to the forum :D

What you want to look at is called EXIF information.
This is the information you asked about and lots more electronically added to your image file.
It can be seen with the corresponding software (e.g. 'BreezeBrowser' or the viewing software included with your camera.

I've included an example of how it looks in the (German version of) Canon's Image viewer utility.

Best regards,
Andy

Well that IS what the USB cable in the box is for. If you running WinXP it should immediately pick it up as a "removable Drive". But either way, jsut loading the drivers plugging the camera in and turning it on will enable you to browse the camera and your photos.

Not unless he has SP2 for XP or download the MS RAW plugin. Unless he's just shooting jpeg

if you right click on the image once its on your pc, then go to 'properties' , then summary, then advanced, you should see all there is....
This info stays with the file, so dont worry about it too much:d

Dear Andy,

I appreciate you.

As Andy has shown, this is an enhancement to phototography, and can be extremely useful to flattening the learning curve. In your travels, you may be able to view EXIF on others pictures, as well. This can be helpful when you are trying to emulate an effect you see in someone else's picture. There various tools available as browser plugins, or extensions, but for viewing EXIF on someone else's pic, it seems easiest to just "Save as" to the desktop, and use kalmo's method to see the data. Just delete the file when you are done.

Hehe ... you bet :D

I remember the time when I had just bought my first 'real' camera, a NOINK 601 AF and printed out little sheets to be filled in with aperture and shutter speed for each image of the film I took ... so I could learn from it later. Needless to say, a lot of work that resulted in precious little learning ... time between shooting and developing of film was still normally too long:rolleyes:

Best regards,
Andy

When we made slides of tropical fish, we wrote all the stuff down for each print in a notebook, then when the slaides came back, we cataloged and corrolated each to the data. What a pain, and I really don't think I learned what the "ideal" settings were for each species, it was always a big bracket job.
