I shot a few test images with my new 60D and used ExifTool to extract the metadata. I get the warning: "Invalid AmbienceInfo data" on the second line of the output file. I have tried changing the Picture Style from Neutral to Faithful to Standard, but I always get the warning. Unfortunately my 60D is now in the birthday present vault for a couple of weeks, so I can't run further tests.
My OS is Windows XP SP3.
ExifTool version is 8.35.
The command line is: "c:\Program Files\Exiftool\Exiftool" -k -a -s -u -f -G0:1 -m *.cr2 >Tags.txt
Console output is:
F:\!Pictures\9 Canon_EOS60D\!ExifToolTest>"c:\Program Files\Exiftool\Exiftool" -
k -a -s -u -f -G0:1 -m *.cr2 1>Tags.txt
-- press any key --
The first few lines of the output file are:
[ExifTool] ExifToolVersion : 8.35
[ExifTool] Warning : Invalid AmbienceInfo data
[File:System] FileName : _MG_0023.CR2
[File:System] Directory : .
[File:System] FileSize : 26 MB

[File] ExifByteOrder : Little-endian (Intel, II)

I am attaching the entire output file. Unfortunately, the only picture files that I have are CR2 and are too big to attach.
Thanks for this report. My 60D samples don't contain AmbienceInfo. If you could mail a CR2 sample to me (philharvey66 at gmail.com), I will sort this out. Big files aren't a problem for my mail.

Edit: If the CR2 is to big for you to send, then the output of the -v3 option should be sufficient for me to see what is happening.
Hi Phil,
I tried sending the 26Mb CR2 file but my ISP choked (3 times).
So I ran my batch file with the -v3 option:
"c:\Program Files\Exiftool\Exiftool" -k -a -s -u -f -G0:1 -m -v3 *.cr2 >Tags.txt
The relevant info is:
| | | 40) AmbienceInfo (SubDirectory) -->
| | | - Tag 0x4020 (20 bytes, int32u[5]):
| | | b450: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 [................]
| | | b460: 00 00 00 00 [....]
| | | Warning = Invalid AmbienceInfo data
I am attaching the entire output file.
Thanks!

Hi Louie,
Thanks. I should be able to fix the problem with this information.
