![]() I heard from one Twitter user with a Canon his EXIF data is different for Lens Info and Lens Model, but Photos correctly imports both RAW and JPEG images, using just the Lens Model field. I would expect that any camera that has differing values in these two fields will experience this problem. For whatever reason, when importing anything other than RAW, Photos is using the value from the Lens Info field, not the Lens Model field. My guess is that Photos' importer uses the Lens Model field to populate Photos' internal Lens field, but only when importing RAW photos. Notice that the Lens Model field's value matches what's shown in Photos for the RAW photo…and it also matches FUJIFILM's official name for the lens, as shown on its web page. This same information-with the same values-is present on all the JPEG images, too. So what's going on? Looking at more of the exif lens data, here are all the fields that contain "Lens" for the RAW photo: $ exiftool DSCF1421.RAF | grep Lens It's not the X-E3 that's recording different Lens metadata-as you can see, it's identical for all seven photos. I uploaded the five (seven, actually, because of the two "RAW+" formats) photos to a folder on my Mac, and then used exiftool to see what lens information was recorded with each photo: $ ls -1 DSC* Of the five, the only one with a different value in the Lens field was the RAW photo.Īt this point, while chatting with Kirk McElhearn on the issue, he reminded me about Phil Harvey's wonderful exiftool (which you can also install via Homebrew). ![]() The only difference between those two photos is that one was taken in RAW mode, the other in one of my camera's JPEG modes.Īt this point, I suspected the X-E3's firmware was doing something odd, so I snapped a series of photos using each of the X-E3's five photo format options (RAW, Fine, Normal, RAW+F, and RAW+N), and imported them into Photos…Īll five shots were taken with the 16mm f/2.8 lens on the X-E3. ![]() What I found was that Photos showed different values for the Lens field-even when the same lens was used on the same camera. This seemed like a simple task each Smart Album just needed to check two conditions:Ĭamera Model is X-E3 Lens is 16.0 mm f/2.8 (as one example)īut after creating my Smart Albums, I noticed that some photos were missing, so I did a bit of experimenting. The other day, I was working on some Smart Albums in Photos, adding a Smart Album for each of the lenses I use with my FUJIFILM X-E3 camera.
