remove f-stop, shutter speed, ISO, and camera make

[inte]

Noob question...

What would the full exiftool command line be to remove only the following from Nikon DSLR JPG files:

• f-top
• shutter speed
• ISO
• camera make

[Phil Harvey]

The simple answer is

exiftool -fnumber= -shutterspeed= -iso= -make= FILE

but this will only remove the EXIF information.  This information is also duplicated in the maker notes, and can't be easily removed without deleting the entire maker notes.  To delete all of the maker notes, add -makernotes= to the command.  You might also want to add -model= because I could easily deduce the camera make given the model name.  Also, there are other similar EXIF tags which may carry some information that you want to delete:  -aperturevalue= -shutterspeedvalue= -sensitivitytype= -standardoutputsensitivity= -recommendedexposureindex= -isospeed= -isospeedlatitudeyyy= -isospeedlatitudezzz=, and probably more
