Apple Image Capture Type decoding

[blue-j]

makernotes:apple:imagecapturetype

1    - ProRAW
2    - Portrait mode
10  - Photo mode

No maker notes at all  - Pano mode

(Note - this is an unknown tag and won't appear without the -u or -U switch.)

This is on an iPhone 14 Pro.  Has anyone else put some work into this one?  I have some other models to test, but if someone has any work to share, I'd welcome it. I am ignoring video types presently.

Great, thanks.  I'll add this to the next release, but I have samples with these unknown values: 3, 4, 5, 12.

I'll make the effort and complete the decoding.  Back soon.... : )    - J

Hey Phil, can you send me samples of 3, 4, 5?  They don't seem available on my model.

In analyzing further, I'm finding:

   1  - Apple ProRAW DNG
   2 -  Portrait mode (still working on distinguishing 2 and 10 portraits)
   10 - Portrait mode (all lighting styles)
   12 - Photo mode (includes DNGs that are NOT ProRAW)
   XX - Pano mode (no entry for this field)
   XX - Time-Lapse video (no entry for this field)
   XX - Slo-Mo video (no entry for this field)
   XX - Cinematic video (no entry for this field)
   XX - Video (no entry for this field)

I note that these diverge from my prior report.  The reason for this is that I had not noticed a preference tucked away in iOS when you transfer files, the "All Photos Data" slider under Options.  When you do NOT check this, the analysis is confounded, as the files are converted en route.

I will continue to investigate further.  Don't release until I have completed the work, I would say!

Thanks.

I'm trying to catch up before going away on my 3 week vacation, and I'll look at this when I get back.  I don't have time to track down the samples before then.
