EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format and it’s used by almost all digital cameras to record extra information about an image as it is taken. This extra information includes shutter speed, aperture values, and even lens information. It’s extremely important to take a look back at camera settings so you can get an idea of what settings worked successfully – and what didn’t!
