camera picture metadata

Post by MrNice »

It includes camera details and settings such as aperture, shutter speed, ISO number, focal depth, dots per inch (DPI). Other automatically generated metadata include the camera brand and model, the date and time when the image was created and the GPS location where it was created

be careful

Rather than using windows you can do multiple jpeg files with a free app called Batchpurifier Its clean from adware etc and works well. you can download it here .
Windows only.

Turn off location access on your device’s camera. You can also screenshot your picture before you post them.
