About metadata
Metadata is a variety of text information embedded in image files. Metadata, for example, contains the following information.
  • Shooting date and camera settings when shooting (File & Camera Information), such as exposure or focal length. Metadata is automatically embedded in images when shooting.
  • Keywords, descriptions or tags concerning the image (XMP/IPTC Information). Labels and ratings are also included. These pieces of information can be edited.
About XMP/IPTC Information
