fab4 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Noticed all my photos shot in aperture or shutter modes say "auto exposure" but my photos shot in manual code are correctly listed as manual exposure. My nikon D90 is on the list of supported cameras and I have the latest firmware installed any ideas as to why and can I do anything to correct it?

Keith Reeder Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Well technically, anything not explicitly manual - like Aperture and Shutter mode - is an "Auto" exposure. It does the same thing with my Canon image files, if that's any comfort, while the full exposure mode shows properly in other viewers like Irfanview. It must just be how Photo parses the Exif in the relevant field - arguably not a bug as such, but it could be more accurately presented, for sure. I assume that Serif uses a Open Source Exif implementation (Exiftool, maybe?) So there might be a flag in the code which would allow the actual exposure mode to be properly displayed.

fab4 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Thanks Keith, I suspected that was the case. Guess I can add detail in comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larsh Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 HI, my images (jpg or RAW) say: manual exposure, but not: manual focus, as Aperture does. lars Quote all Aff 2.2: Capture One+ 23 pro; MacBook Pro, OSX 10.15.7, Fuji X-Pro2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Well technically, anything not explicitly manual - like Aperture and Shutter mode - is an "Auto" exposure. Technically, according to this source the EXIF "ExposureProgram" TIFF Tag should display one of eight values, none of which is "Auto." Two of them are intended to tag Aperture & Shutter priority programs. I am not quite sure what to make of that regarding AP's EXIF panel, but I wonder if other apps show something different for a photo taken with a Nikon D90. If not, perhaps the D90 is not set to embed that EXIF tag in its files & AP is just 'reinterpreting' the "Not defined" tag value incorrectly?

You're correct loading photo in a couple of other apps that read exif data the exposure mode is 3, which is aperture so not sure what the deal is with AP. Not a big deal just purchased AP and having a lot of fun learning my way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
