5. To show only embedded metadata items or to show embedded and addable metadata items.

Double click a metadata item or click or to show the editing sheet for the Tagged-Format Metadata.

Recorded two integer values. The first is the numerator and the second is the denominator.

You can also enter decimal fraction or common fraction value directly like the following.

Most of the character metadata of Tagged-Format Metadata can only use ASCII code.

The User Comment Tag #37510 can use the unicode and JIS code. Because of the JIS code characters are not be recognized in the other image viewer apps, you should not use the JIS code.

Choose a value from pre-defined data.

Select metadata item(s) you want to copy, and then choose Edit > Copy.

Select image file(s) you want to paste, and then choose Edit > Paste.

For multiple images, you can use the batch functions to change a Date-Time metadata item of the following.

- Tag #36867: Date Time Original (Exif)
- Tag #36868: Date Time Digitized (Exif)

Select image files you want to edit, and then select "TIFF" or "Exif" in the Metadata Type List

Click of a Date-Time metadata item to show the Batch editing sheet. And then choose a function from the function pop-up button.

For Example: Forward 30 minutes

	DSCN0067	2012:10:15 14:28:21	→	2012:10:15 14:58:21
	DSCN0069	2012:10:15 15:47:03.25	→	2012:10:15 16:17:03.25
	DSCN0070	2012:10:15 15:47:03.28	→	2012:10:15 16:17:03.28
	DSCN0071	2012:10:15 16:03:51	→	2012:10:15 16:33:51
	DSCN0072	None	→	None
	DSCN0073	2012:12:24 19:02:39	→	2012:12:24 19:32:39

For Example: 10 minute intervals

	DSCN0067	2012:10:15 14:28:21	→	2012:10:15 14:28:21	(The top date-time is not changed)
	DSCN0069	2012:10:15 15:47:03.25	→	2012:10:15 14:38:21.00
	DSCN0070	2012:10:15 15:47:03.28	→	2012:10:15 14:48:21.00
	DSCN0071	2012:10:15 16:03:51	→	2012:10:15 14:58:21
	DSCN0072	None	→	2012:10:15 15:08:21	(added date-time)
	DSCN0073	2012:12:24 19:02:39	→	2012:10:15 15:18:21

You can drag and drop files to change the order of them if necessary.

Set the same date time values in each files.

The values of batch editing time fields are applied in a left-to-right order.
Years → Months → Days → Hours → Minutes → Seconds → Subseconds.

Examples:

• Adding one month and six days to 25th September results in 31st October, not 1st November.
• Adding one month and four days to 29th June results in 2nd August, and then subtracting one month and four days to 2nd August results in 28th June, not 29th June.
• Adding one month to 30th and 31st August results in 30th September. The each results are the same date.
• Adding one month and seven days to 25th August and to 25th September results 2nd October and 1st November. But each number of days added are not the same. The first is 38 days, the second is 37 days.

It might be appropriate to use day values for incrementing/decrementing. If you need to calculate dates, click the "Date Calculator..." button.

The subsecond metadata are stored in the Exif, separately from date-time metadata.

- Tag #37520: Subsecond of Date Time (#306 in TIFF)
- Tag #37521: Subsecond of Date Time Original (#36867 in Exif)
- Tag #37522: Subsecond of Date Time Digitized (#36868 in Exif)

If you enter a one-digit subsecond value, it will be converted to the two-digit value (centiseconds). Example: 2 → 20

In the Batch editing sheet, you can enter a two or three-digit value (centiseconds or milliseconds).
