Newbies / Re: Teleconverter off brand
Last post by Phil Harvey - Today at 09:12:32 PMI would say that lens/teleconverter combinations should be stored in the EXIF:LensModel tag. And yes, all of the FocalLength tags should also be affected.

Newbies / Teleconverter off brand
Last post by seedsca - Today at 08:40:35 PMHi,
I'm trying to add my "POSS AUTO TELE CONVERTER 2X MULTI-COATED" as a teleconverter for my Minolta (film) cameras. I see there is an option, but it's only for Minolta branded ones. I also see there are several other brands of teleconverters, but none are "POSS".
How would you recommend I tag my film scans when I use this teleconverter? I'm also thinking of changing the FocalLengthIn35mmFormat to be double of what the lens uses, since the teleconverter doubles it. Or is there another standard to use here?
Finding tagging film scans a bit on the complicated side

Maybe try escaping the hashtag with a caret ^

exiftool(-k).exe
to
exiftool(-CreateDate -a -G1 -k).exe
The -a (-duplicates) option and -G1 (-groupNames1) option are required to see all the the CreateDate tags, as there might be duplicates, as well as the groups they belong two.
To find the version, rename to
exiftool(-ver -k).exe
exiftool(-k).exe
to
exiftool(-CreateDate -a -G1 -k).exe

Last post by jochenhecht - Today at 06:19:37 PMHi Phil,
just for your information: I do not use old pixel 4a smartphone anymore. So, following it's about pixel 8 files.
Unfortunately I don't know how to use your required command / where to copy the command "exiftool -createdate -a -G1 FILE".
Pixel 8:
So, I drag and drop the file: PXL_20250324_214659672.mp4 (created with pixel
onto exiftool(-k).exe and get following information: (just showing the important ones)

The "exiftool" Application / Re: Exiftool .bat-file doesn't...
Last post by StarGeek - Today at 03:35:42 PMAre you in a +1:00 time zone?
The CreateDate in a video is supposed to be set to UTC. So if your local time was 2025:03:12 14:23:12+01:00, then the correct time in video would be 2025:03:12 13
:23:12 UTC.
It sounds like you're older phone was writing the time stamp incorrectly as local time rather than UTC.
You can add the -api QuickTimeUTC option and exiftool will automatically adjust the UTC time to the local time in your command, but you have to understand that you can't use the same command for both phones.
