Title: Change Owner Name
Post by: mypikkies on May 30, 2020, 06:47:23 AM
Newbie here. I have been using Exiftools for a while to extract location data. Now I need to clear my name from EXIF in a bunch of jpeg. The only field I can't access is Owner Name, that includes the space, from the Canon maker notes. How do I write Owner Name so that it is recognised? Placed in quotes "Owner Name" is unsuccessful.
Thanks

Try this:

exiftool -ownername= FILE

This is FAQ #2 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q2).
   When you run exiftool, by default it prints descriptions, not tag names, for the information it extracts.

The tag description is "Owner Name", not the tag name.  I don't have a Canon to double check, but I suspect that the tag name would be OwnerName.
