Remembering camera settings

[_dobbo_]

I'm still waiting to see if the gods smile on me and allow me to get a DSLR - in the meantime I'm torturing myself by endlessly looking at them on ebay etc...

Anyway, one thing I am wondering is that I often see people post an image with a note of the aperture and shutter speed. Am I correct in thinking that the camera stores a note of these with each picture - or do you have to try to remember this information?

Thanks!

It's in the image. In XP right click and do properties then summary / advanced.

everything. no lying to clients anymore about how long you were working on this one!

Luckily the camera attaches all the details to each image. Its called the EXIF...stands for Exposure Information....very handy, when examining what might have gone wrong

What DLSR are you looking at?

Works both ways though whilst you leave the shutter open on bulb for 5 hours for star trails and tootle off indoors for a few bevies.

What he needs is a D70 and SB-800

I empathize with you Dobbo. They are not cheap. And then lenses, tripod and untold accesories.
It's even worse if you have a critical eye and happen to wander upon the fruits born of an L series lense

I can only afford an EOS300D with the money I'm going to have... I would have bitten your hand off when you were selling yours if I had realised in time - ho hum!

I think at this point that even if I don't get the extra money I'm expecting (it's a work thing) i'll stick the camera on a credit card and worry about it later....

Who said debt trap?

If you really want to torture yourself have a look round the hasselblad website. Ouch

Cheers Phil, a very useful bit of info. I knew my D70 stored this but not attached to the picture when downloaded to the PC.

The only bit you won't find is the flash info, which for some reason Nikon puts elsewhere
