Instructions

The only way, this tool can read the data is if the image is in its 100% original state, as made by the camera itself.

In order to achieve this, you should transfer the images to your computer via a card reader or via the USB cable which came with the camera.

If you have the camera at hand, follow this procedure:

  1. take a photo with the camera, it can be with the lens cap on, or out of focus, it does not matter
  2. a - connect the camera to the computer with the USB cable OR
    b - remove the SD/CF/MS card from the camera and insert it into your card reader
  3. navigate to the images on the camera/card with your file manager (Explorer on windows, finder on Mac OS, ...)
    The images are usually found in the DCIM or 100MSDCF or similar folders
  4. drag the latest image - usually the one with the highest number - to the "Drag images here" box in the tool
  5. The tool should read the proper values

Things to AVOID in order to get a working result

  • Transfering the images with special software
  • Opening the images with any sort of editing software (this is very important, as SONY stores the shutter data in such a way, that almost all image editors will destroy that data)
