When you see the shutter speed is slow, then you will know that subject or camera movement could be the cause of the blur. In this photo, the people blurring is intentional.īut when you have a photo that is not sharp, the EXIF information can show you what your shutter speed was. The EXIF data for this photo shows me the reason the people in the background are blurred is that my shutter speed was half a second. The EXIF data includes camera settings like the aperture and shutter speed. If you have taken a photograph and it’s blurry, knowing how to view EXIF data might help you understand why. You can alter EXIF data using specific EXIF data viewer software. This data can include equipment information, serial numbers, and copyright information. In addition to all the info about the actual photo, other metadata is also recorded. Some of this information will be more helpful to you than others. This data is in every image file a camera records. Going through far-field sample images posted at several reviews, some reported subject distances are 65m (6553/100) this will correspond to infinitive I guess, but there are several occasions where the reported subject distance is much closer.EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format. Is there a better tool for reading G3 EXIF data, including the subject distance? Is the subject distance a good parameter to judge if the camera did focus correctly? This would mean 2.07 m subject distance (F4.5, focal length 9.09 mm, what will be the DOF?) for the house with palm tree shot and might explain the complains about the image not being sharp.

Reading the subject distance from a few close distance shots (1-2 meter range), I would say this value is represented in cm’s (which is a factor 10 different from the G2 values for this EXIF reader).

The EXIF data lists 207 for the subject distance parameter, using the EXIF image viewer version 1.1.7.19 by Michal Kowalski. I have seen several posts about the next picture being not sharp:
