Hi Phil, I am wondering where to get the File Number/Shutter count for Canon DSLR images.
I have a file from Canon T1i, and
-all t1i.jpg gives
File Number : 100-3706
Whole code branch search revealed only one place in Canon.pm(Image::ExifTool::Canon::FileInfo) which is index one for FileInfo tag.
However
-U -v3 t1i.jpg has only
Canon_FileInfo_0x0001 = 0
- Tag 0x0001 (2 bytes, int16s[1]):
0e68: 00 00
So I am kind of stuck, how to get 100-3706 from 0x0000. 3706 sounds to be correct value of shutter count for my camera though. Can you please guide me to the tag from where you derive this value?
I think you are confused. In this case, FileNumber is a Composite tag which is derived from FileIndex and DirectoryIndex.

spot on..! I am not yet fully done porting CameraInfo tag. Thanks for the info Phil.
Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but it is related to the File Number tag. I would like to rename some files using this tag, as I renamed them ages ago but would like to rename them back. I am sure this would be possible with Exiftool, but I am a little overwhelmed by the options!
Is this possible to do ?
Thanks for your help,
