Its time to update your copyright info in your cameras EXIF data

My tip this time is to remind you if you haven't put Copyright info in the EXIF data or even if you have, it is a new year and you need to add it or update the year to 2013. I talked about adding Copyright information and how it is done in tip #25. I will copy and paste it below just in case you need a refresher on how it is done.

I would also like to thank everyone that reads my thread and for encouraging me over the many months I have been writing it. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and that 2013 will be you best year ever. Happy shooting. Jeff

I might add that you need to remember to change it on ALL of your cameras.

Tip #25 Adding copyright information to the EXF data of each of your pictures

Adding copyright information to the EXF data of each of your pictures

On each picture you take the camera records all the settings you used for that shot such as time of day and date the picture was taken, F stop , shutter speed, ISO and a lot more. There is a place in the EXF data that allows you to embed a comment such as Copyright and your name. It is a good idea to add this information in the EXF data of each photo that you take. By setting this up in the camera it will automatically be added to each picture at the time the picture was taken without doing anything additional. This will allow your name and copyright to go along with each of your pictures no matter where the image travels to or ends up.

Here is how you do it

Go to the SETUP MENU which is the fourth one down on the left and looks like a wrench
Toggle to the right and go down to Copyright Information and press the right side of the toggle button
Scroll down to Copyright and press the right arrow
Add comment such as COPYRIGHT John Doe 2012
To OK your comment hold down the Eyeglass or "+" plus button at the bottom left of the rear LCD screen and press OK. You need to check the Attach comment then scroll up to Done and press OK.

Use the toggle button with the arrows to choose the letters and numbers you want and press OK. To navigate within your comment section hold down the "-" minus button which is the second button up from the bottom left side of the rear LCD screen and use the toggle button with the arrows to navigate within the comment section. To delete, highlight the letter or number to be deleted and press "Delete".

From now on until you change your settings, every picture taken with this camera will include this comment in the EXF data no matter who is operating the camera, Jeff.
