Camera Date & Timestamp

Hi all,
I've had a pre since 12 September, and, being a G1 convert, it took me a while to get used to the Pre's GUI and hardware. As of 12 December, I like it, but one thing has caught my attention. There is no date or timestamp applied to photos taken. Is there a setting I'm missing, or would this require a workaround, or is it just not possible?
Thanks
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I can confirm this. As is started elsewhere on the web, the pre stores the date in the EXIF metadata as "modify date" instead of "date taken". Meaning that the information is there, just not in the correct field so therefore programs don't know to look for it. If you have a EXIF editing program such as Exifer you can copy it over. Or, it would be better if palm fixed this in an update. Or if someone could make a patch to store it properly.
What is most odd about this, is that my wife's pixi stores the date and time in the "date taken" field appropriately. I guess they saw the problem and fixed it with the pixi, now we just need them to fix it for the pre.

Photos recently changed from sequential numbering to date/timestamp. When I import into apps for editing they are out of order. What can be done to change back to sequential numbering instead of date/timestamp?

The date information is taken from the camera which writes it to the file. This needs to be set to the correct date and time in the camera itself.
The order the images are shown in the Library mode is set by clicking on the sort button in the tool bar, which if not showing can be activated from view, tool bar. There are different sort orders that can be applied including sorting by file name. You can also sort by dragging the images to the order you wish them to appear in by selecting user order.

How to get data with out having any date/timestamp columns by year wise

hi,
how can i select years wise rows from tables,if that have not any date/timestamp column.

Well Govind it quite depends on what is the data type of that column and the format in which it is stored.
If the data type is varchar2/varchar and all the values are in a uniform format then there is no problem. All you need to use is the to_date function to convert the supplied strings to default date format and then use to_char function to only extract the YY or YYYY or RR or RRRR aspect of the data.
For example: If the column is called 'hire_date' and it's data type is varchar2 and the entries in this column are all in a uniform format, say month,date,year like January,12,1999. What you need to do is convert this string to a default date value using to_date function, like to_date(hire_date,'format_model') In the format model mention the format of the hire_date string. The out put of this function can be fed into to_char to extract the year, like to_char(output_of_to_date,'YYYY')
I hope you got what I meant. Let me know if it was of any use.

Images stripped from Camera Data after Export from Lr

Hi,
I've just opened images in jpg format in Ps. The images were exported from Lr and for some reason all the Camera Data is gone...
I went through all the settings in Ps and Lr and didn't find anything...
I'm enclosing a screenshot.

Hi, this is a similar to an earlier post and here is my reply:
In the Export Dialog Box, under Metadata, make sure that you checked the box for "Write Keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy", in this way all your keywords will be carried over to Photoshop. Conversely, if you do not want your keywords or other metadata to show in Photoshop, then check the box for "Minimize Embedded Metadata". I hope this helps.

How to get a current date timestamp ?

Hi,
I need to get the current date timestamp in a format DDMMYY HH:MM:SS.mmmm and store it in an Oracle column which is declared as of type DATE.
Also i need to store this timestamp in a string format.
Please give your inputs in this regard, which is appreciated.
Regards

Dates dont' have formats. String represenations of dates do.
If you have a DB column that is of char or varchar type but represents a date/time, you should change your data model so that the column type is date or time or timestamp. If you can't do that, and need to put a date into a particular format, use java.text.SimpleDateFormat.
To get the current date and time, look at System.currentTimeMillis, java.util.Date, java.sql.Date, java.sql.Timestamp.
To put one of these into a database, use PreparedStatement. For example, a timestamp would be something like this: PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("insert into some_table (some_timestamp) values(?)");
Timestamp ts = new TimeStamp(...);
ps.setTimestamp(1, ts);
ps.excuteUpdate();

Add date-timestamp to PDF

Hi,
Is there a way I could add current date-timestamp to the PDF, when the PDF is opened or printed?
I read the iTEXT documentation and it seems its possible to add javascript to the PDF document using iTEXT and this javascript will get executed when the PDF is opened.
I was successful in adding the "this.print" javascript; however, I am still struggling to figure out how to add "this.addWaterMarkFromText" javascript. I know I can use the iText API to add watermarks, however, I want to use the Adobe Javascript instead. This exercise is just to figure out how to add javascript to PDF.
This would help me figure out how to use various Adobe javascript events such as "WillPrint" to dynamically add the timestamp just before the Print button is clicked.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shilpa.

Hi Shilpa,
Please note, I am using C# in my example code, but the solution is similar in Java.
To answer your question regarding using javascript events like Will Print, one way to add a timestamp by first creating a (blank, readonly) field and adding it to your document using iText using, say iTextSharp.text.pdf.TextField. Then you assign javascript to the WillPrint event with writer.SetAdditionalAction(PdfName.WP, PdfAction.JavaScript(jScriptBeforePrint, writer))where writer is an instance of iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter.
The javascript, in this case jScriptBeforePrint, will change the value of the field you created earlier to contain the date-timestamp value. For example, you can use:
this.getField('datestmp').value =\"This document was printed at \" + util.printd(\"HH:MM on mmmm dd, yyyy\",new Date());where datestmp is the name of the field created earlier.
(by the way Will Print is initiated after the clicking of the print button, not before - as per your post).

Bridge and Camera Data (EXIF)

I need to know how, using Bridge and its metadata routines, to include EXIF data into a record set.
I am a digital archivist of old, long out of copyright books, manuscripts and other ephemera. When scanning an old book I scan them as signatures. Each scan will have two pages which are split, i.e. page 1 and page 4.
Page 1 (the original scan) contains the camera data. The page four image, copied out of page 1, does not contain any camera data when saved. After processing page 1 I add to it the applicable metadata for the volume and export it as a template, applying that template to the record set.
However, the Camera Data (EXIF) does not get applied to all the pages in the record set. Is there any way around this?
Cordially,

Bridge - Exposure Camera Data (Exif) metadata display problem

I'm working with raw files with thumbnails displayed in Bridge Content. In Bridge preferences > Metadata I have Exposure and Exposure Bias Value checked on. (These are the first two lines in the metadata panel.) When I select a raw file in Bridge the Exposure and Exposure Bias Value metadata are displayed in Bridge Metadata panel as expected. When I open the raw file in acr 7 and make some edits, click Done in acr and return focus to Bridge, the Bridge thumbnail is updated but the Exposure line in Bridge metadata panel disappears -- the Exposure Bias Value is the first line of the metadata panel. If I clear the settings, the Exposure line and data return to the metadata panel. I also have 'Exposure' selected for one of the additional lines in thumbnail metadata, where the exposure data is correctly displayed even when the exposure metadata line is not shown in the metadata panel.
I do not see this problem in pscs5 with acr 6.7 beta. Is there some setting I need to check or is this a bug?

For anyone who may find this post wondering why they can't see the specific EXIF data for each photo... "Show Metadata Placard" may be what you're looking for. Click the drop down at the top right of your Metadata panel and tick "Show Metadata Placard." This will display a panel that looks like the info. panel on your camera (shutter speed, f-stop, iso, white balance, etc.).
I had to figure this out after getting frustrated by the fact that Camera Data (Exif) in the Metadata panel only shows the "Max Aperture Value" of the lens instead of the aperture value that you actually shot.

CRIO-9068 time synchronization and data timestamping - the Big Picture

I'm working with a number of cRIO-9068 chassis that are distributed over a large physical area. I wish to timestamp data acquired be these chassis with microsecond resolution and relative accuracy. The various documents that I've run across hint at how this might be accomplished but none of them really describe the overall architecture for synchronization of chassis clocks over a network and acquisition of the local clocks for the purpose of data timestamping. Is there a document that addresses this topic?

http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/376007a.pdf:
Using the Internal Real-Time Clock
The system clock of the cRIO-9068 is synchronized with the internal high-precision real-time clock at startup. This synchronization provides timestamp data to the controller. You can also use the internal real-time clock to correct drift of the system clock. Refer to the Internal Real-Time Clock specification in the Specifications section for the accuracy specifications of the real-time clock.
What are the "system clock" and "real-time clock"? How are they related? How does the synchronization provide timestamp data to the cRIO-9068 controller? How does the internal real-time clock correct drift of the system clock?
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/373185a.pdf:
No theory of operation whatsoever.
Note: https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/cRIO-9068-amp-NI-TimeSync/td-p/2838178 suggests that NI-TimeSync may not be available for the cRIO-9068:
Currently NI-TimeSync 1.3 is not supported on Linux RT. This is something that's in the works but there is no ETA.

Is it possible to change 'camera data' info?

I think I know the answer, but:
I'm using a favourite 'framing template' in which I open a new image, copy and paste into the framing template which has had many automations run for watermark, signature, naming, etc., and then when I post to Flickr for instance;
It shows dates of Sept 2009 and using a Nikon D50--both of which are 'old news' now.
I did a 'File Info' investigation and the camera data looks like it cannot change and that's the metadata with the camera make and date, attached seemingly (and sensibly) to my framing template psd document.
Any way to change this or am I doomed to have to run scripts every time I wish to frame something and watermark, etc?
Thanks!!!

A blunt method could be to create a identically sized new document in the same color space and shift-drag all Layers over and over-save the template file with that.
Any way to change this or am I doomed to have to run scripts every time I wish to frame something and watermark, etc?
I don’t follow.
Scripting can make many complex operations (including watermarking, saving various downsized copies etc.) one-click tasks, so I don’t see that as a disadvantage in and of itself.

Importing JPG w camera data

Question: I'm working with Lightroom for the first time, and I can't figure out how to display the camera data (lens type, shutter speed, etc) in the Library mode. I'm running Lightroom on a Mac importing data from Nikon D200. I know the data is there because I can sort based on lens type, but not display the data. I don't seem to able to set up the metadata to display it. Does someone know how? Manual doesn't help. These are mostly JPG pictures.

If you hit Cmd-I, (i) as in Info., you'll bring up some info. To change the info, go to View-> View Options (Cmd-J) to customize.

Extracted C4D Camera data from Cineware does not align.

My fault for not trying a simple scene in C4D and making sure this would work.
But alas, I spent the better part of the day animating a Camera (using the CSTools DocuCam setup) in Cinema. It's excatly how I want it. The camera rig is parented to a null which is simply changing its position around the scene. I'm also keyframing a target null that the DocuCam is following. The DocuCam has several xpressions that cause it to "wiggle" and quickly zoom in and out to give a handheld feel.
First attempt, I brought in the C4d (r14) file into AECC and hit Extract Camera data. Solo'd out just the DocuCam (the currently selected camera in the C4D source file), and added a Solid to the Comp. Scrubbed through the timeline to see if it moved away from the Camera as expected, and it is totally misaligned. The camera doesn't rotate or perform any of the same movement as it did in C4d.
I also tried baking all the keyframes for each of the elements in the c4d file, and re-import. Not any better. All the frames for the camera do import (without the nulls, etc), but again, it looks like I'd have to muck around with some nulls in AE to (maybe) get everything to align.
Hoping I'm missing some obvious solution to the problem, or my expectations are out of whack.
It will be annoying to have to CameraTrack my 3D rendered scene, when I have all that data in C4D.
Other attempts included:
Trying to use an .aec file and that only imported 1 keyframe for the camera, despite the baking method.
Repeat same procedure, this time with External Compositing Tags attached to the camera and assoc layers. Even attached it to a dummy object (Cube) in front of the camera and tag'd it.
Crazy project, super deadline, thought this would be the right workflow. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Rick – I appreciate the advice.
To answer your question, I have the latest version of CC, just released a couple of days ago, and I'm running C4D r14.041 (not Lite).
Just to make sure we are on the same page. I don't want to use the AE camera to affect the Cineware layer. I want to extract the camera from the C4d file, so I have a 3D camera in AE, and can then composite other elements over (or "into") my 3D scene so those layers align visually to whatever we are seeing in the C4D scene.
In fact, I didn't even plan to use the Cineware layer once I got the C4D data, rather planning to render out of C4D an image seq and import back into AE.
Basically, I have a 3D scene of a town, some buildings... then I want to composite some explosions, etc... but don't want to do that in C4D on planes, but would rather do that as separate layers in AE, so I can control effects on those individually, and then color-grade everything together (with the rendered scene below).

Camera data subject distance missing in CS6

This is another strange problem. I noticed that recent shots with any of 3 Nikon cameras, D3, D4 and D300s lack the distance data in CS6 Bridge. But older shots do. I narrowed the change to about June 10, 2012. Before this they have the subject distance and June 12 pictures and later don't. It seems that this is the time when I configured or installed CS6 which was a free upgrade after getting CS5.1
When I open CS5.1 Bridge though, even the most recent shots have subject distance.

Curt Y,
Thanks for your response. I was aware of the thread you reference. In fact I have implemented the excellent workaround described by Paul Riggott in that thread.
Nevertheless that thread fails to provide an answer to the original question: Why is subject distance correctly displayed in Bridge 5 and that field completely absent in Bridge 6.
In my case this is true for both native NEF files and when the same file is converted to DNG.
It is true for both old and recent files and for files from D700 and D800 cameras.
In the case of these two cameras, the Subject Distance is found under the Makers Notes but is not found under the Exif data as reported by ExifToolGUI. This last finding confirms the observation of DLC (reply #4) in the cited thread.
However if one examines the advanced tab in file info, one finds the following:
In both Bridge 5 and Bridge 6 there is an entry under Exif Properties labeled "Subject Distance"
So the question remains: why is this datum displayed in the Camera Data (Exif) Panel of Bridge 5 but not in Bridge 6? And what can be done to correct this glitch?
Addendum / Correction
I have just discovered the following: Older (raw) files which had been previously opened with Bridge 5, regardless if they were edited or not, when now opened in Bridge 6 do show the Subject Distance in the Exif Panel.

Bridge reports impossible Camera Data

I'm new to Bridge (CS6). There are certain instances when I am puzzled as to how Bridge handles the Camera Data it reports for each photo. I'm hoping someone can provide some insight. Example:
I was running some fill-flash tests using a Nikon D3200, a Tamron 150mm-600mm f/5.0-6.3 zoom lens, a Tamron 2x teleconverter, and an ancient Vivitar 283 with a flash extender. (With the teleconverter, the Tamron f/5.0-6.3 becomes an f/10-13 lens.) An incident meter registered f161/3 at 1/500 for ambient light. For all test exposures, the lens was kept at 600mm, shutter priority at 1/200, evaluative (matrix) metering, ISO 400.
When I examine the exposure information in Bridge, I notice that:
Some exposures show an f-stop between f/13 and f/14 at 1/200, and a focal length of 1200mm, which is what I expect.
However, some exposures show an f-stop between f/2.5 and f/4.0 at 1/200 with a focal length of 10mm. Again, the lens was fixed at 1200mm (600mm x2 with teleconverter) and an aperture of f/13 wide open, so this exposure information appears to me to be impossible.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Use some other software that reads and displays an image file from your camera meta data. So you know what your camera has written. See if the error is in Adobe software or your Camera's firmware. EXIF data is generated in your camera.
