What is Exif metadata?

Description

TIFF files have native metadata and optionally Exif metadata associated with them. Both the TIFF and Exif metadata are arranged in a list of tagged items in the file. This viewer prints out all items in the order that they occur and lists their contents, even if it doesn't understand the contents. This allows even obscure items to be seen that may be ignored by other metadata readers.
