CAMERA MODEL

What camera took this photo? Read the make and model from the file

When a camera saves a photo it writes its own make and model into the file. Upload the photo and the report shows the device, the lens and the shooting settings.

Values come from the EXIF Scanner report for a test JPEG we tagged like a phone photo. Real phone photos usually also carry a lens name saying which rear or front camera was used (LensModel) and the software version (Software).

When no model is found

Screenshots, files downloaded from social media and files whose metadata was stripped may carry no device details. These fields can be edited, so the report shows what the file says; it does not prove the photo was taken with that device.

Keeping or removing device details

"Keep camera info" removes everything and writes back only make, model, lens, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length and flash, which suits photographers. "Remove all metadata" removes device details too; in our test file only 6 structural fields of 37 remained.

Frequently asked questions

Does a photo reveal the camera's serial number?

Some cameras write a serial number (SerialNumber or BodySerialNumber); if present it shows in the report. "Prepare for sharing" removes these fields.

Could the device details have been changed?

Yes. Make and Model are plain text fields and can be edited. The report shows what the file says.

Do videos carry device details?

Phone videos often store make and model in QuickTime fields, and they show in the report.
