Perhaps the admins can make a special allowance for any non-EXIF photogs who can present a pure shot from camera which includes in the subject field of view a newspaper showing the date! It just means that all your challenge pictures would have newspapers in them prior to cropping. :)

We've already experimented with and decided against using any such "alternative" verification measures. Sorry, but we tried it and there were too many additional problems. : (

I have Canon 300D, how much my original file size should be (not more than ...).
So on the time of presenting the original file, it can reach you easily.

The uploader that you use to submit your originals doesn't have any limits on it, so any size original should be ok. If there are any problems, D&L can usually arrange some way of getting the file onto the server :o)

Thank U Very Much Sir.

I've recently started using my Canon Powershot G2 in RAW mode (downloads as a .CRW). Would that be suitable for proof or am I required to shoot in JPEG mode for challenges?

.CRW files embed the information we need and are acceptable.

Any Mac/iPhoto users reading this thread? If so, I hope someone can answer my question... if I use iPhoto to manage my pictures and do any editing (cropping or whatever), I always have the option of reverting to the original. Will this original that I've reverted to still have EXIF data? Or, even a more basic question, does it have the EXIF data when I import it in iPhoto in the first place? I normally just plug in the camera, download the photos and delete the originals upon import... is this wrong? (Have I asked too many questions?)

Thanks in advance!!

I would recommend not deleting the originals. If you would like you can send me a sample file that you ran through iPhoto in this manner, but I would expect it to alter the EXIF information. If you would like to do this, contact me via PM for my email address.

Ask as many questions as you like... that's why we (and these forums) are here!

Hello. I recently purchased the Kodak DX4530, and while the DPR site says it supports EXIF2.2, I can't seem to find embedded dates on my images. I'm sort of a newbie to the digital game though, and my old HP camera had metadata on it that the Kodak doesn't, which confuses me. Also, under "Uncompressed Format" it says "no".. does this mean this camera is exempt from these challenges?

Help?

If DPReview shows the camera as supporting EXIF 2.2 that is probably accurate. The embedded data is not something visible on the image, but is supplemental data that is included as part of the file.

Yah, I think I posted a little too hastily. I went on a search for Exif extracting software and came up with a good little image viewing program that automatically detects it and everything is fine. Thanks for the quick reply!
Now I just have to figure out how to compete with Digital SLRs with my little Kodak ;)

Does this camera qualify as a camera that can be used to take photos for challenges? I am unsure whether or not this is a non-EXIF camera. Thanks!

If it has an external memory card/stick it would collect EXIF info when you capture a picture.

According to DPReview, the FujiFilm Finepix A205 supports EXIF 2.2, so you should be ok with this camera.

Thanks guys. I figured this out already when I downloaded an EXIF-Extracting utility soon after my post.

Is this true? My 10D knows the camera orientation when I shoot and during the download process it rotates it so up is indeed up. Are these photos then tarnished and cannot be entered?

They will be fine. The problem comes in when someone uses software to rotate them, and re-saves. Best practice is to move or copy your pix to an "originals" directory using the operating system tools, e.g. windows explorer. Then make a copy to a working directory and open the copy for editing.

Your camera suports this, so long as you submit an original that has not been saved from editing software (it's the ones you submit that have been saved from the ArcSoft software that we are having problems with).

I'm reletivly new to digital photography. I Bought a used Minolta Dimage 7 several months ago and I dont know if my camera is a non-exif camera. I read the link to it but it didn't help me I was hoping someone in here would be kind enough to let me know if its an acceptable camera to use in the challenges.

Should be fine ... there's over 100 registered DPC users with that flexible and popular camera. Here's a link to complete specs and reviews at DPReview.com.

It is mostly only very inexpensive cameras more than four years old or so which will have a problem meeting this requirement.

I wasn't sure if mine supported EXIF so what I did was (in Windows) right-click on the original, unedited image and click on properties. Click on the Summary tab and finally the advanced button. Voila. :)

Good tip, though I'll add this only works in XP.

As a reminder, the rule change announced above is effective beginning with the Backlighting challenge that started this morning.
