I cannot see the focus mode as a tag in the metadata. When I search those tags, all of them seem to be empty. But when I open the same file in Picture Information Extractor (PIE) I can see the correct value in the tag Focus mode (Manual; AF-S, etc.) Is there a way to make this visible in iMatch? For me it is very instructive to see if I focussed manually or not.

Thanks, Hans

Hi:
Try in Edit / Preferences / Metadata 2
Click on "Tag Manager" (Bottom right)
Wait until it loads.
In Tag Groups choose Sony and the tag you want.
Best regards,

Right.

IMatch by default does not import all proprietary maker notes and tags. Most of the maker notes are not meant for humans and importing them would increase database size and reduce performance. Hence the Tag Manager. See Tag Manager in the IMatch help for full details.
