Description-en: extract EXIF information from digital camera files
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a standard for storing interchange
information in image files, especially those using JPEG compression. Most
digital cameras, including mobile phones, now use the EXIF format.
.
The format is part of the DCF standard created by JEIDA to encourage the
interoperability between imaging devices. In addition to the standard EXIF
fields, MetaCam also supports vendor-specific extensions from Nikon, Olympus,
Canon and Casio.
.
This program is useful in forensics insvestigations.
