Adding a Tag to a file

[edwind]

Hi,

I am working on some experimental 360 imagery and need to add the 'Camera Type' TAG to the exifdata.
I have tried exiftool -config "C:\ path to file" -Camera Type: "RICOH THETA" but this does not work. Is my syntax wrong?

If camera type is a valid tag, setting it would simply be done as follows:

Code Select Expand

exiftool -CameraType="RICOH THETA" FILE/DIR

Hi Edwind,

I think you may want to write the EXIF "Model" tag.

Thanks Phil,

That did what I wanted, unfortunately it still hasn't achieved the end goal of getting Facebook to display the photo sphere properly. It appears OK for a few seconds the goes black. I think they must have some filter for safeguarding. My image consist of words only (not offensive, I may add) but not a regular image.
