Sample EXIF Response from Flickr.com

Below I have posted a sample EXIF response from Flickr.com, as provided by the API call flickr.photos.getExif.

Some interesting remarks:

  • EXIF information spans more tag spaces, the TIFF-Space (inherited from the file format) carries Camera Manufacturer, Resolution and DateTime information, while the EXIF tagspace offers picture parameters (such as ExposureTime). The "Olympus"-Tagspace refers to a proprietary makernote of the Camera Manufacturer.
  • The internal clock of the camera was not adjusted, so we have ´0000:00:00 00:00:00´ timestamps.
  • <exif> nodes always have a <raw> subnode providing the original EXIF-Data as provided by the camera. Sometimes there is also a <clean> subnode, which translates the numerical data/internal constants in a human-understandable format, e.g. Color Space= 1 means that the Color Space is sRGB.
