This is probably a daft question!!
If there is no exif info disclosed in an image displayed in the gallery, how does one know it was taken with a Pentax camera?

Because it will be perfect in every way


seriously though ... you can't.

Thanks for the info.
Another daft question!
Do you have to set a camera up to not record exif data.

AFAIK you can't stop a camera recording Exif data but you can strip it out in software (for instance, when processing)

I'm A MAC user myself, but came across this freeware if someone's interested in editing the EXIF data on a PC:

Have been using it for years - but it has not been updated for 4 years!

Photome is very useful. Lightroom allows metadata editing of course.

Some sites, like Facebook strip out metadata.

Thanks everyone for clarifying this.I just wondered why some of the images had no data. Can't really see any reason to go to the bother of removing it.

This forum removes exit data too, except in the Gallery

But sometimes leaves it intact:

Is there a setting in the forum software that can force it to keep it intact?

It stays intact as long as the file size isn't too large.
Best regards, John

it won't strip out EXIF from images hosted elsewhere of course.
