Hi Folks.
I am trying a bit of time lapse photography and have created a problem! I set the aperture on the lens then disconnected it by a slight turn (following advice I had seen or been given before) to reduce mechanical wear on the iris mechanism.
I now find that I need to add the lens type, lens model, aperture, focal length (and maybe focus distance?) to the exif so that I can have the automatic lens corrections in DxO.
Well I have been putzing around for the last several hours in ExifTool (too terrified to do anything as I have no clue about working in code!), ExifToolGUI, GUI2 for ExifTool and tried Gpicsync too as it has an exif reader / writer (ExifTool?) in it.
Did I have an install issue with GUI2 as I had a whole raft of warnings the first time it opened about missing files, the one that I remember being a .ini file? After closing and re-opening from the shortcut as per the install instructions there were no more messages.
I don't know if the lens type is not changeable, it currently shows as Unknown (0) and despite being able to copy the info to clipboard from a reference shot before I disconnected the lens, I don't seem to be able to paste it back to the files which need it.
With this being a time lapse I need a bulk editor as changing one file at a time is a non starter!
I would be most grateful if someone who knows their way around any / all of these programs or another one that I can download (please don't say Lightroom as I have tried it and am not going down that road) would be able to help point me in the right direction.
PC is Windows 10.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers, Graham.
