Sony A7R IVa EXIF Not Supported?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Carlos Rodrigues:
Ii have the sme problem with the Canon R3 files with metadata IPTC

dennis:
The missing Exif data is from the Sony maker note.  PM has to whitelist the different Sony models in order to parse the maker note.  The next release will have this A7R IVa camera (and other newer ones) whitelisted and will then show the missing Exif maker note values (e.g. white balance).

That’s ridiculous that you have to do that. I’ve noticed while looking at different kinds of images in different programs and also using image comparison software and hex editors that software developers and device manufacturers still seem to struggle with consistent use of the various metadata standards that we have.

Some read and write the EXIF fields, some the XMP fields, some older IPTC or Adobe fields, and many seem to do an inconsistent combination of the different standards.

I’m frankly quite impressed that PM+ keeps up with it as well as it does.

Thank you so much!

By the way, do you use your own in-house code to parse EXIF, etc., or something like jhead?

Just curious since you said that you do not use exiftool!

We have our own code that has been developed over more than twenty years.  Dennis is the metadata man.
