Print exposure date of an image in microseconds

[light9876]

I have an image IMG_01.PNG

I can display the image exposure date by doing:

Code Select Expand

exiftool -CreateDate IMG_01.JPG This prints:

Code Select Expand

Create Date                     : 2017:04:15 10:06:40

But I want to display the exact exposure date in microseconds, like the one I get using

Code Select Expand

stat -c %w IMG_01.JPG:

Code Select Expand

2020-07-17 00:44:30.483242603 +0100

Check your StackOverflow post.  I put up an answer there.

But to expand a bit, CreateDate is embedded data and normally doesn't have a subsecond component (though there is three EXIF SubSecTime* time stamps).  And if whatever created the image doesn't take the time to actually embed such data, it's not going to exist.

With regards to the subsecond precision that stat gives, see this thread.

Thanks so much. This means that this info is not stored.
