If you want to view the data in your camera's LCD, look in the manual on how to display the histogram. That display will show you the data. When viewing a photo on my Nikon D7000, I just toggle the up or down arrows on the OK button to get different display modes for the screen.

Fastest way is to click the little "i" icon, if your pictures are first uploaded in Photos App.


๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป. Do note that none of the lens info is recorded on old manual lenses (f-stop, lens name and focal length) but all the other info is there like shutter speed, WB, ISO, etc.

When I bought my Sony A6000 I received a link to this website for a free download of this Sony program called Play Memories. You can view your pictures here, store them, and see the EXIF along with some basic photo editing. It works fine for me, give it a try.

Donโ€™t bother with most of these replies. The basic info you mentioned is available when looking at your photos on the camera. Just cycle thru the views. My A6000 does that by pressing the center toggle either left or up (canโ€™t remember which and in docโ€™s office now).

It seems there are two answers here. One is to read the EXIF data off-camera in some software. The other. is to know the EXIF data on-board the camera. What are the fundamental data (shutter, f-stop, ISO, WB,etc) and the peripheral data (date, time, GPS coords, etc). Wonder what the experts regard as essential.

I am learning my new (to me) Sony a6300. Today, in the snow I wanted to take a picture that captured the falling flakes in the mid ground of a view across a stream. I thought that by taking pictures with different combinations of aperture and speed I could learn what combination would work best. Do I have to carry a log and write down the specs on each shot, or does the camera contain a record of what aperture and speed were used? I looked in the book I have to help with the camera features, but couldn't come up with a description of what I wanted that provided an answer. If you can help me I'd appreciate it. Thanks for thinking about this.

Technically NO!

The informaation is stored in the file as EXIF information. It is NOT recorded, nor stored in the camera. Once the file is downloaded to another device you cannot find it IN THE CAMERA!
