Made in Europe, buy from Europe.EXIF (Exchange Image File Format) is the shooting data a camera stores in each photo. It includes the camera, lens, shutter speed, aperture, focal length, ISO and the date the photo was taken. With the EXIF extension, you can show EXIF data in a WordPress gallery, in the lightbox under the photo.
Note: EXIF is a Modula Pro extension, included in the Business plan. Switch it on in Modula → Extensions (how to switch on extensions).
Show EXIF data in the gallery editor
- Open the gallery.
- Click Lightbox in the left rail.
- Scroll down to More settings and open EXIF.
- Turn on Show shooting data.
-
All the details start out on: Camera, Lens, Shutter speed, Aperture, Focal length, ISO and Date & time. Turn off the ones you don’t want to show.
The editor saves your changes as you go. To see the data, open a photo in the lightbox on your site. The lightbox is the window that shows a photo on top of the page.
Where the EXIF data comes from
You don’t have to type the data. Modula reads it from the photo file.
WordPress saves the camera, aperture, focal length, shutter speed, ISO and date when you upload a photo. Modula adds the lens from JPEG and TIFF files.
For this to work, your server needs the PHP EXIF extension. Most hosts have it.
Note: Only what is in the file can show. Many photos exported for the web, screenshots and edited images have no shooting data. The lightbox skips the missing parts.
Type or correct a photo’s EXIF data
If a photo has no data, or the data is wrong, you can type it in yourself. The fields show only when Show shooting data is on for the gallery.
- Open the gallery and click the photo.
- Click Edit image.
- Under More settings, open EXIF.
- Fill in Camera model, Lens, Focal length, Shutter speed, Aperture, ISO or Date taken. Fields you leave empty use the data from the file.
EXIF data in albums
An album has its own EXIF setting. Open the album and click Lightbox. Under More settings, open EXIF. Show EXIF data can be one of these:
- Take Gallery setting: This is the default. Each gallery decides.
- Display EXIF data: The album shows the data.
- Hide EXIF data: The album hides the data.
