When I run exiftool on a Sony ARW file, all details are listed.
However, I would like to view only some of the data:
Lens : FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS
Date Created : 2024:10:18
Aperture : 6.3
Lens ID : Sony FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS
Shutter Speed : 1/160
Focus Distance 2 : 2.015 m
Field Of View : 60.3 deg
Focal Length : 31.0 mm (35 mm equivalent: 31.0 mm)
Hyperfocal Distance : 5.08 m
Light Value : 11.6
How can I use exiftool to show only the »Focus Distance 2« and the other parameter mentioned above?
if you run exiftool with the -s switch such as the following it will show you the tag names in alphabetic order
exiftool -s -sort <imagename>.ARW
you then use those tag names in the exiftool command as follows:
exiftool -LensType -DateTimeOriginal -ShutterSpeed -LightValue -FocusDistance2 <imagename>.ARW
(these are just examples of tagnames)
This is FAQ #3 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q3).
Thank you very much for the samples! No wonder I couldn't get the Focus Distance 2: I put it into quotations marks because of the space between that parameters (-"Focus Distance 2").
It really helps to see some sample code!
