Work with special tags in iMatch (Olympus: StackedImage and DriveMode)

[abgestumpft]

Hi,

I'm currently searching for two Exif-Tags used on my Olympus Camera, but I fail to find them in iMatch in the Tag Selector.


The two tags are:
1. StackedImage
This will e.g. contain information if this was a High-Res or LiveND shot

https://exiftool.org/TagNames/Olympus.html

Code Select Expand

0x0804 StackedImage int32u[2]
'0 0' = No
'3 2' = ND2 (1EV)
'3 4' = ND4 (2EV)
'3 8' = ND8 (3EV)
'3 16' = ND16 (4EV)
'3 32' = ND32 (5EV)
'5 4' = HDR1
'6 4' = HDR2
'8 8' = Tripod high resolution
'9 2' = Focus-stacked (2 images)
'9 3' = Focus-stacked (3 images)
'9 4' = Focus-stacked (4 images)
'9 5' = Focus-stacked (5 images)
'9 6' = Focus-stacked (6 images)
'9 7' = Focus-stacked (7 images)
'9 8' = Focus-stacked (8 images)
'9 9' = Focus-stacked (9 images)
'9 10' = Focus-stacked (10 images)
'9 11' = Focus-stacked (11 images)
'9 12' = Focus-stacked (12 images)
'9 13' = Focus-stacked (13 images)
'9 14' = Focus-stacked (14 images)
'9 15' = Focus-stacked (15 images)
'11 16' = Hand-held high resolution

2. DriveMode
This will contain which drive mode was used, but also usefull information when Focus-Bracketing was used (and which squence the shot was)


With exiftool I can query them like this:

Code Select Expand

exiftool.exe -l -StackedImage P8056876.ORF
Stacked Image
      Hand-held high resolution

exiftool.exe -l -StackedImage P8056875.ORF
Stacked Image
      ND32 (5EV)

exiftool.exe -l -DriveMode P6019213.ORF
Drive Mode
      Focus Bracketing, Shot 3; Electronic shutter

Is there a way to integrate them into iMatch? I would like to use them in Metadata-Tab and also filter on them (e.g. show all hand-held highres shots).

When I go into the Tag Manager and select "Olympus Camera Settings" on the left (name from the ExifTool page in your post) I see Stacked Image on the right. And Drive Mode.
I see no problem.



Remember to force-update (Shift+Ctrl+F5) the metadata in your files after changing Tag Manager Settings.

Hi Mario,

thanks a lot for your quick reply! I was looking in places like the filter pane -> Value Filter -> Tag Selector.
There I did not find those Tags. Those are obviously not scanned per default during import.

Via "Edit Menu > Preferences > Metadata 2 > Tag Manager" I have now enabled the tag group "Olympus Camera Settings".
After a reload of Metadata I can now select those tags in the Tag Selectore (= use them in Filter, show them in Metadata pane,...).

See: The Tag Manager for why IMatch does not import all possible metadata tags, camera-specific maker notes etc. by default.
