I just purchased my first DSLR!!! Now, I am trying to figure it out. I want to enter a contest but cannot seem to find where the ISO setting is displayed in the properties of the picture I took....am I missing something?

Do you remember what the ISO was?

You either need Nikon Capture to read it easily, or Neat Image reads it.

oh and if you shoot RAW, it will embed the ISO in a section called "EXIF Properties / ISOSpeedRatings / [1]"

Otherwise, photoshop can't read it...dunno why.

Thanks deapee! What a pain though, there has to be an easier way. Has anyone else been able to retrieve this info easier? Maybe a setting or something?
 05/21/2006 11:03:46 AM · #5
no problem.

no huhuh can't do it...don't ask me why $30 neat image can read it but super expensive adobe photoshop can't (maybe cs2 can I just have cs)

I never found it that bad...I remember what I was shooting at for every shot -- you will too in time, no doubt about it.

cs2 has iso under file -> info

If you're shooting jpg and using Windows, you can right click on the image, choose "properties," select the summary tab and click on "advanced" and it will give the ISO.

mk -- not with a nikon.

Photoshop CS2 will display it under File Info.
Also Adobe Bridge will show you the settings.

I have a D50, and I have to open the image in IrfanView and then look under information.

IrfanView

Edited for typo

This is how I viewed it on my Coolpix 8700 but it doesn't work on the D70.

You can download one of the free software packages from Nikon that reads this info. I suggest "Nikon View". A good basic program that also does Raw.

I downloaded a program called ISOFIX that will move the ISO data from an area where most programs don't look for it to one where they do, but you can't use that on your original shot if you're going to enter it in a challenge because it alters the EXIF and that's a no-no. Also, if I use this program and post the picture in my Pixelpost photoblog, for some reason the EXIF interpreter used by that software reads the ISO as a bunch of gobbledygook.

Hmm,if I do that it will tell me all the info except ISO.

no offense intended here...

But in all honesty, I answered the question but people are still trying to come up with solutions. I don't just run around spouting off information that I don't know anything about.

Anyway, I'll repeat...

The easiest way is to just use neat image...which is a tool everyone should have anyway. Second easiest would be to purchase Nikon Capture. No, CS can't tell you it (unless you shoot RAW, then it's at the above mentioned location), and no, Windows Explorer can't tell you either.

Neat Image sucks!! Use Noise Ninja instead, will give you the info also.
And I would put forward that using either of these is not the easiest if you are strapped for cash.
Nikon View is free, you can see your iso, and edit if you like from there.
Do you change your ISO alot, or have it on auto-iso? I am almost always in 200, and if not I usually know what I changed it to.

The fact that neat image sucks is just your opinion. And using neat image has nothing to do with being strapped for cash as it's free...it just saves at a lower quality before you register it.

And no I don't change my ISO and I don't use auto ISO. Like I mentioned before, I know what every shot was taken at and told the OP that soon she would as well.

FYI - the free version of RAW Shooter Essentials also reads the ISO data and displays it. That is if you are shooting RAW.

Also, MS Digital Image Pro or Suite reads the data as does Neat Image, Noise Ninja, ThumbsPlus and of course all the Nikon products.

Settle your jets...question was for the originator of the thread.
Nikon View COMES with the camera on a CD, anyway.
Neat Image does suck, free or not. And yes, that is my opinion. :P

I don't think anypne said you hadn't answered the question or that you were wrong (though opinions have varied on the quality of neat image). From what I can see people (myself included) have added on to your answer by suggesting other methods to do it. There is no single end all answer to the question the OP asked.

Ah, my bad.

Stupid Nikon. :P

Do programs like Breezebrowser or ACDSee work? Just curious for future reference.

I'm confused, are you trying the find the ISO of an image that's on your card in your camera, or are you trying to find the ISO on a file that you've already transfered to your computer?
