As digital technology is here to stay and replace the analog format in the world of photography and video, the information that we can obtain from the files created in both photographic and video cameras has been increasing substantially and today, we can know practically all its details.
The macOS Photos application offers us access to the EXIF information of the photographs that we store in the application, information that is quite simple and that it does not delve into some details that may be interesting when editing them or to find out if flash has been used, the brand of the lens, the model ...
Apple focuses the EXIF information that it offers us on the data obtained through the iPhone, but if in our case, the photographs are not only taken with an iPhone, but we use a reflex camera with different lenses, the information that it offers us apple app is insufficient and we are forced to use third-party applications.
For these cases, one of the simplest and most complete applications is Photo Information Viewer, an application that offers us all the information we may need at any given time, such as lens make and model, light and focus metering mode, scene type if set automatically, white balance, color profile.
