Title: print "LensID" error?
Post by: yiduo2008 on May 06, 2010, 05:06:22 AM

Hello,

I found many pictures photoed by the same lens but have different "LensID".



exiftool.exe -LensID "Canon EF85mm f 1.8 USM.jpg"
Lens ID                         : Canon EF85mm f/1.8 USM

exiftool.exe -LensID "Canon EF 85mm f 1.8 USM.jpg"
Lens ID                         : Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM

This is because the LensType number is not valid in one of your images so ExifTool uses the stored LensModel string instead. The Canon LensModel strings are slightly different than the LensID strings that exiftool generates.

Thank you for your reply .

I have another problem with "Lens ID".

Why this photo "Lens ID" is "237" ?

Code Select


exiftool.exe -make -LensID -Lens -LensInfo -LensModel 12063330.jpg
Make                            : Canon
Lens ID                         : 237
Lens                            : EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM
Lens Info                       : 24-105mm f/?

This is the LensID written by Adobe products in the XMP. ExifTool only converts LensID values from the maker notes.

Use -a -G1 to see where the information is coming from.
