Read ALL the EXIF data in a PEF file - Freeware application

Go to last post
It gets the lens name right even with K10D firmware 1.20.
 
But only for PEFs, not DNGs.
 
I just downloaded/installed this app and checked my K10D's info.

Build date: 20061124
Rev. No. 1.2
Internal SN: 5070xxx

I noticed that there are cameras built both before and after mine and have internal serial numbers nowhere near mine. Ones I recall started with 3xxxxxx.
Hmmmm.

Anyway, lots of cool info to be found. Thanks for letting us know about this app.

I've been in email contact with Jens Duttke, the author, and he has pointed out to me that MakerNote 0x0029 FrameCount is no where to be seen in any firmware version of the K10D. This does not mean that Pentax is not storing it somewhere in the PEF just that it is not documented. I can't believe the service group would not want to know the frame count on a camera they service. Maybe not. ;-)

Anyway, thanks to Jens for such an awesome application. Send your thanks to him at j(dot)duttke(at)web(dot)de Tell him how much we appreciate his support of the Pentax community.

cheers,
Rick
 
Seems strange that it is a lower revision than Rob's but was manufactured 4 months later... my internal serial number is 4126003

Perhaps they have two different production lines or PhotoME isn't interpreting this correctly.

The fact that K10D doesn't write frame count into EXIF doesn't mean it doesn't keep frame count in it's flash memory. Service people can easy check that number (probably through debug menu).

I doubt it's a problem with PhotoME. Given that the boards appear to be used concurrently I would assume that the version difference would pertain to a minor revision to perhaps accommodate updated/unavailable parts? Also as has been mentioned WRT lenses the concept of a SERIAL number seems to have been lots, it's probably more appropriate to call them unique ID numbers as there is nothing serial about them.

Except for hardware failures I've never had any problems with my

You must be lying, I've seen the ads I know what they say must be true ;-)
