Supported files and cameras
The file types ExifXplorer reads, and what it decodes for each camera brand.
File types
| Kind | File types |
|---|---|
| Camera RAW | CR2 NEF ARW DNG RAF RW2 ORF ORI X3F SRW IIQ 3FR MRW GPR CR3 CRW FFF |
| Ordinary images | JPG JPEG PNG HEIC TIF TIFF PSD |
ExifXplorer reads metadata with ExifTool, which supports practically every camera. A few files have no preview inside them for ExifXplorer to show (some GoPro GPR and Hasselblad 3FR files, for example); those tiles say “No preview” but their metadata is all there.
Plain .raw files (with no maker name in the extension) aren’t supported: there’s no reliable way to read them.
Cameras
Every camera’s standard information (date, exposure, lens, GPS and so on) is shown for every brand. For the brands below, ExifXplorer also translates the camera’s own maker notes into plain English, and for some, draws the focus point. See Maker notes and the focus point.
| Brand | Maker notes in plain English | Focus point | Shutter count |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canon | Focus mode, AF area mode, Drive mode, Flash mode, Image stabilization, Macro mode | Yes | Yes |
| Fujifilm | Focus mode, AF mode, Shooting mode, Film simulation, Dynamic range, Flash mode | Yes | Yes |

| Nikon | Focus mode, AF area mode, Shooting mode, Flash mode, Vibration reduction, Active D-Lighting | Yes | Yes |

Hasselblad and Phase One files don’t carry maker notes with settings to translate, so only their standard information is shown.
