How to see the metadata of the photos captured with your iPhone

iphone-camera

Every time you take a photo with a digital device, be it an iPhone or a digital camera, it is stored together with the photo file a lot of information about it, this information is known under the name of metadata. The stored information can reveal many things to us. Among them we can view the date of the photo, the exposure time, the aperture of the diaphragm, the resolution of the camera, the device, the GPS information and much more. With the iPhone one cannot see this information natively but today I will talk about an app that allows you to do just this.

The app in question is named after Photo Investigator and it's free. What we must do is download it and give it access to the photos stored on our iOS gadget. Once the app is open, we must click on the lower left corner of the app where we will see a logo that resembles a photo album.

Now the app opens our albums and shows us a series of thumbnail photos. Thumbnails with a globe logo have GPS information while photos with a thumbnail of a clock have GPS information as well. EXIF information.  Virtually all photos have EXIF ​​informationThose that do not have it are usually downloaded from the web where they are generally not uploaded with this information.

Once you have selected a photo, Photo Investigator will show you the information available for the photograph you have selected. The most common metadata information is file size, creation date, file name, and little else. For its part, in the EXIF ​​information we can see sections more pertinent to the photograph itself; aperture, exposure, lens, zoom, etc. This information may be relevant for those who are interested in learning photography and want to know why each photograph is different depending on the context.

Enclosed in the metadata is the TIFF information. This information is pertinent to the equipment and is what tells you the type of equipment that was used, the model, the resolution, the processing software and little else. However, they are interesting tools for anyone who wants to have more control in their technique of taking photographs.
