README file for the EXIF Drupal module. Description *********** The EXIF module allows to display EXIF metadata on image nodes. EXIF is a specification for the image file format used by digital cameras. The metadata tags defined in the EXIF standard cover a broad spectrum including: * Date and time information. Digital cameras will record the current date and time and save this in the metadata. * Camera settings. This includes static information such as the camera model and make, and information that varies with each image such as orientation, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, metering mode, and film speed information. * Location information, which could come from a GPS receiver connected to the camera. * Descriptions and copyright information. Administrators can choose via CCK fields which EXIF information are read. At this time, this module supports EXIF information only with JPEG files.

Usage ************ After installing it you can go to your content type. It supports both the image module as well as the imagefield module. Let's say you have an content type "photo".
