Removing Camera Make and Model Fields

[westcan]

Excellent tool!! I'm using the following command to strip some information including the camera make and model (which it works to remove the data, however still keeps them listed in the exif data);

exiftool -exif:all= -make= -model= -makernotes= -tagsfromfile @ -datetimeoriginal -overwrite_original /DIRECTORY/

Is there a way to remove the actual Camera Maker and Camera Model fields altogether so they don't appear?

Thank you

Whatever program you are using in that screen shot shows that there isn't any values for those tags.  Exiftool can't do anything to affect how other programs display data and prompt you to enter data.

If you use the command in FAQ #3, exiftool will show you that the data has been removed.
