Hi,

I'm trying to get at the FocusDistance tag from Minolta 7D files (jpg, mrw, or dng) without any success. Here is an example command line I'm using:

exiftool.pl -k -r -focusdistance X:\CLT_Test\CLT_Test_Photos

I've tried a couple other Minolta makernote tags like lensid and rotation and they work great!

I'm using: Win XP Home, Active Perl 5.10.0.1002, Exiftool 7.21 (oops, I see 7.23 is out!)

Thanks,

-Chris

Hi Chris,

It seems as if the 7D may not record focus distance information.  At
least, exiftool can not currently extract this information from these images.
