I've noticed a small bug with the EXIF data display.
2 default data entries within my pictures EXIF data:
Make: NIKON CORPORATION
Camera Model Name: NIKON D610
If I upload a pictures with no changes to the EXIF data:
X3 will display CORPORATION for the camera type. This is not correct, it should be NIKON D610
If I however upload a picture where I've added extra data, like Title, Caption, Author, etc.
X3 will display NIKON D610 for the camera type, as it should be.
This is the only data I've noticed to be incorrect.
Here is a zip file with 2 pictures that display the above situation when uploaded to X3
Thanks for checking this out

Re: Exif Bug
I took a look and can confirm the issue. The problem is, it is simply output like that from the native exif_read_data() function in PHP ... Here is the segment of output that is different between the images:
It simply outputs incorrectly for Make and Model. In addition, it outputs some strange "SOH" unicode characters for the make and software:

Unfortunately, this is an issue native to PHP and the process that occurs when you add/moderate IPTC data. What software do you use for that? Perhaps you can tweak how exif/iptc data is stored ... maybe change exif version?rauberdaniel wrote:Could the reason be that the camera uses exif 2.3 and PHP can only handle exif 2.2?

Re: Exif Bug
Just to be clear, this really isn't a problem for me. I almost always add EXIF data to my photos so the photo info (title,caption,place,etc.) will be in the photo forever. This problem ONLY happens when I do NOT edit the EXIF photo data. I believe the photos that have the problem (in my instance) came straight out of Lightroom 6.x unaltered. I only brought the issue up so that it could be addressed if possible. For software, I use Windows 7 and use GeoSetter, an amazing windows based EXIF/IPTC/XMP editor (no affiliation), to add and edit the EXIF/IPTC data. That program uses Phil Harvey's ExifTool within it to make the photo data changes.
Hope this helps

Re: Exif Bug
That means that either the camera, or lightroom app, stores the EXIF in some way (possibly a newer exif version) that PHP cannot parse entirely correct.sprocket wrote:This problem ONLY happens when I do NOT edit the EXIF photo data.
It also means that your Geosetter application corrects the issue, by refactoring the EXIF data into a format/version that PHP DOES fully understand.
I can't fix this issue in native PHP, but good to know!
