How can I find out the shutter speed and aperture of the camera used when a photo was taken?
If you select a digital camera file in Photo Explorer and use the File->Properties function you will see various information about the file. Digital camera files that have been directly transferred to the PC (without using TWAIN) will have an additional tab group called “Camera Information (Exif)”. Here you can see information about the picture taking conditions such as the date the picture was taken, the shutter speed and aperture and various other information from the camera. This information is contained in the JPG file and will be retained even if the photos are copied to CD or to other computers. But be careful, this information is often lost when pictures are re-saved from image editors and other software.
