I'm sure this has been asked many times before but I just cant find an answer ... what is the 'subject distance' ?
The 10D,300D,D30 & D60 produced a CRW+THM file and this data was in the THM. The 20D,300D onwards hide this data in the 'Maker Notes' of the CR2 file but I have never found anything that can read it fully ... until I found IrfanView.
It's the only package I've found that can actually read all of the Maker Notes from CR2 files.
However, the one piece of data I'm looking for - 'Subject Distance' - is always zero. Am I missing something?
Other data is wrong too - such as 'Flash not fired' when the main EXIF data shows that it was.
My setup ..
EOS 350D
EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM ... 'should' report distance
EF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 (kit) ... 'should report distance
EF 50mm f/1.8 MkII ... 'does not' report distance
The Canon site lists both my zooms as capable of reporting the distance.
