Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di for Canon

Today I went out to burn some pictures and figured since they wern't meant for anything except having fun, I used the camera in some of the automatic modes (300D). When I got home I copied them from the CF card and there was no EXIF info on any of them. Is that something I have to turn on?

I don't use the automatic modes very often, but on the rare occasions I do use them, there is always Exif data. I don't use any of the software that comes with the camera, so that might have something to do with it. I've also never used PTP mode for downloading files. Which transfer mode are you using?

I actually just put the card in my card reader. I'ved used RAW and manual since I bought the camera so this is the first time I tried auto mode due to other people taking pictures while I was out. I always thought the data was embeded in the JPG.

The data should be embedded in the JPEG. As I'm sure you know, even RAW files contain a medium JPEG with Exif data. Have you tried reading the Exif with different programs? If you still have the images on the card, can the camera read the Exif data when you press "info" while viewing an image? Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with Windows or Mac imaging software, so I can't make any recommendations unless you're using Linux.

I only have the Canon software and Capture One (which I use for the RAW.) Is there another program that might read it?

Auto mode does not erase EXIF data !

Download the shareware version of Breezebrowser (www.breezesys.com) and try that. It's also handy for other things.
