Beats heck out of taking notes on those admittedly rare occasions when I want to remember which lens/what exposure/stuff like that. The lens coding on the M8 can also trigger adjustments for vignetting, etc., but that's a bigger technical topic. :-) John >>But this EXIF thing is quite puzzling because what do you use it for in >>shooting better pictures?
