OM-1 EXIF for ProCapture

[MtnBikerCalif]

Is there and OM-1 (Olympus) tag to identify ProCapture images?

I've used `exiftool -FileName -DateTimeOriginal -OffsetTime -StackedImage -DriveMode -AFPointDetails "filename"` to see key fields for sorting photos how they were shot.

A ProCapture image has:

Drive Mode : Continuous Shooting, Shot 7; Electronic shutter

Is the "Continuous Shooting, Shot x" unique to ProCapture?

I've looked over the other fields and nothing seems obvious, although there are many fields.

PS: DPReview Auto tagging for post doesn't seem to be working

The mode part of the Drivemode tag is the same for all continuous shooting modes. There are 4 other values used for bracket sequences.

I don't think is it possible to determine that procapture was used from the exif data.

similarly and more annoyingly I don't think it is possible to tell the difference between files from an in camera focus stack and a focus bracket.

My assumption is the burst shot count in Workspace is identical whether for a regular burst or a pro capture burst, but I've never checked to verify. Reliably shows the beginning and end of each sequence whether SH2, regular silent, mechanical shutter.

Thanks for the comments.

What are the four Continuous Shooting Modes?

I'm writing a script to rename the files based on various modes. But I'm not using all the modes. (Who could possibly use all the combinations? I'm sure some are.) Mainly Focus Stacking. And I have Pro and non-Pro lenses.

While we're complaining about OM tags. I wish they would add subsecs.

I do not know about ProCapture alone, but ProCapture SH2 is shown in WS EXIF camera Drive. I haven't ever used straight ProCapture.

Thanks for the comments.

What are the four Continuous Shooting Modes?

Mechanical continuous
Silent continuous
SH1/with and without Pro Capture
SH2/with and without Pro Capture

Cheers,

Which probably means that info is in the EXIF somewhere, but doesn't show up in "human readable" fields. By that I mean OM has many cryptic fields.

There is an exiftool + awk script you can find on the helicon focus forum to do that.

Thanks. Mine is more ambitious than that. Uses local date and time and as I'm learning the OM-1 adding what kind of image it is to the file name and backups the files and a few other things. Been doing it for years, but updating for OM and updating in general. Which is why I was looking for a tag for some images. Didn't have focus stacks and ProCap before.
