Thanks for info. Followed your instructions and didn't need any other software - the right click & properties told me everything. Now I know what to do.

Ron - on a windows machine - you can download the picture to your local machine and then right-click and check 'properties' and then 'details'. The data here is rather limited. If using Google Chrome, you can install some software (free) called 'show EXIF data'. I'm less familiar with this tool as when I right click in Chrome, the data I know in the JPEG is not displayed. However, all the details I've discussed come from Canon's Digital Photo Professional (DPP) that comes with Canon EOS cameras or can be downloaded from the Canon website. Things like the lens used or manual focus are detailed by DPP from the Canon created JPEG.

Dumb question - HOW do you call up all the shooting data on a particular photo? I downloaded the pic and right-clicked but got nothing in the way of shooting data.
thankie,

Hey, I appreciate all the replys. I knew this was a friendly forum but now I feel like a part of the family already.
thanks again,

Quick intro - Back in the late 60's I thought I'd get into 35mm photography (urged by a friend who sold me his old rangefinder) and bought a Miranda Sensorex with extra 135mm lens. It didn't take long to discover that my sense of timing was not good if I was looking for action photos of people. But, it was fun and I have a ton of slides that I absolutely never look at, but film was just too expensive for my teacher's budget. Miranda as a company apparently died and I put the camera away, where it still resides.
Zoom forward into the digital age and I discovered that it didn't cost anything to take a bunch of pictures, so the film budget issue became a moot point. But, little point and shoot cameras were all I knew, along with the image quality limitations. Still, my theory was (is) that if you take enough pics you're bound to get a few good ones. My interest is in landscapes and wildlife, with very little in the way of people photos except for my grandkids. I guess I'm simply a snapshot shooter when it comes to people.
Anyway, a couple of years ago I was sniffing around the cameras in Fryes and a salesman did a good job of selling me on a Sony DSC-HX200V. It was the best thing I'd experienced since sliced bread. All of a sudden I could take better pictures and I absolutely loved the superzoom feature. But, I found that even though the salesman talked about the manual control, it's not all there. No RAW (not that I even know how to deal with that yet), hard for me to manually focus, no luck yet shooting action shots. Just a lot of stuff that I'd like to get into. So, I'm beginning to learn as much as I can about DSLRs and mirrorless cameras.
I don't remember how I came across this forum but I immediately suscribed to the daily digest and now it's my favorite forum. There's simply so much experience available. Right now, I'm still at the very confused state, having to learn/relearn things about good photography as well as trying to decide what my next camera will be. My wife is very supportative of my late-life interest and I've started a camera/lense budget. My hope is to have the $$ available when I've finally learned enough to take the next step.
One of my problems is that I have a pretty wide range of interests that vie for my funding. I like motorcycles, guns, archery, bicycles, and woodturning. All those things take $$$. Woe is me...
So, in advance, I'll apologize for any and all dumb questions and statements. I don't like making a fool of myself but it's happened enough in my 72 years that at least I've getting used to it.
That's me in a nutshell - thanks again.
