Extracting Canon's LevelInfo tags

[pedzsan]

I have raw image files from Canon EOS R5 (firmware level 2.0.0) as well as from Canon EOS R5 Mk 2 (firmware level 1.0.0).  I'm using exiftool version 12.76.  Both files have the CR3 extension.  I'm using exiftool -a -u -G3 -ee3 -api RequestAll=3 2024-09-18/6C3A1142.CR3 but I am not seeing anything that looks like level, pitch, or roll in the output.  Is this the correct command and these files simply do not have the tags I'm looking for or do I need different options?

That command will extract everything. You would have to look at the unknown tags to see if they might be an undiscovered location for such data, but if you don't find anything there, then it probably isn't in the file.

Hi,

Have a look at this: https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=16111.msg86675#msg86675

As far as I know, the angles you are looking for are available in the R5 files, but not in the R6.
I'm not sure if Phil has actually decoded them, but this information in the version history makes me think he did:

June 13, 2024 - Version 12.87

Correct.  We've decoded this for the R5, but the information is yet to be discovered if it exists for the R6.  Note that this information was added in firmware version 1.5 of the R5, and I don't think it existed in earlier versions.
