Strange exif values from Nikon..

I'm wondering why the exif data reads every value in strange numbers in stead of the regular ex: f/ 2.8 for aperture. And 1/125 for shutterspeed.
now i get numbers like 87943784/1000000 etc..
everything has to be divided.

I'm using different Nikon cameras, anyone have any ideas ?

Good question ... What we generally have done for EXIF, is simply output the values as they are stored in your JPG image from your camera.

Since we have really never been using EXIF data ourselves, the formatting output flaws were not obvious to us. I think other software programs in fact apply their own formatting, and it looks like we will have to do the same.

Perhaps you can post any suggestions adding to this post:

yes that's correct. you have to retranslate the raw exif data to something that is meaningful for photographers and visitors.

ex : "Focal length" (in millimeters) when it outputs 300/1, get rid of the /1 and write 300. Or "FNumber" when it outputs 80/10, just write 8.
Exposure time and iso display correctly.

In version 20081015, we added some formatting to EXIF data. View an example here:

Great work :D

all the main infos are OK. just one thing for exposure, the obvious display being 1/x (like 1/125 for example) as you put it you do not need to show the real time in seconds (0.008), you can remove that part.

if you want to keep it, better swap both values, put first in line 1/125 and (0.008sec) inside brackets.
Note that when exposure is above 1sec, you will want to display sec for precision.
example : 4sec
example : 1/125
or if you keep both values
example : 1/125 (0.008sec)
example : 4sec (4sec) which is a bit redundant

keep up the good work !
