EXIF data for long exposures

[LesC]

Here's a question .... If you take a long exposure, say five minutes, does the EXIF data show the time the exposure started or finished??

Hi!

I don't have the answer and I don't want to sound rude but my suggestion would be that the fastest way would be to just try it out with your own equipment. How about that?

Checked with DPP, and the EXIF contains the shooting date/time (date & hour down to seconds) & Tv value.

Assuming you've set the camera's clock correctly, you have the start time in EXIF, and adding Tv, you'll get the finish time.
