MakerNote PresenceA proprietary manufacturer block inside EXIF whose format is largely undocumented. Contains settings not in standard EXIF — focus mode, scene detection, lens data, processing flags.

Rate at which this device embeds a MakerNote block (proprietary manufacturer metadata).

100%

Restart Interval (DRI) RateDefine Restart Interval — a JPEG marker that splits the compressed stream into independently-decodable blocks to aid error recovery. Canon cameras include it consistently; most others do not.

Rate at which this device writes a DRI (Define Restart Interval) marker. Canon cameras consistently include this; most Nikon, Sony, and smartphone output does not.

100%

SOF Compression TypeStart of Frame marker — identifies the JPEG compression algorithm. SOF0 = baseline DCT (most common); SOF2 = progressive DCT (multiple passes, common in web-optimised images).

JPEG compression markers (SOF0 = baseline, SOF2 = progressive).

Observed value
SOF0

DQT Quantisation Table FingerprintsThe 64-value matrix that controls JPEG lossy compression. Baked into firmware — consistent across units of the same model — and distinctive enough to act as a camera fingerprint.

JPEG quantisation table fingerprints. Identical patterns across devices indicate shared hardware or firmware lineage.

distinct fingerprint accumulated

JPEG Segment InventoryThe set of JPEG markers consistently present in output from this device. Marker presence and order are firmware-determined and can help distinguish camera lineages.

APP and SOF segments consistently present in output from this device.

Observed value
SOIStart of Image — the 2-byte marker that opens every valid JPEG file.
APP1Primary metadata container — holds EXIF camera data (make, model, GPS, settings) and optionally XMP.
APP2ICC colour profile or FlashPix extension data.
DHTDefine Huffman Table — the compression lookup table baked in by the encoder.
DQTDefine Quantization Table — the 64-value lossy compression matrix. Consistent per firmware; useful as a fingerprint.
DRIDefine Restart Interval — written by some cameras (notably Canon) to enable mid-file error recovery.
SOF0Start of Frame, Baseline DCT — the most common JPEG compression type.
SOSStart of Scan — marks the beginning of the compressed image data stream.
APP4

Metadata Block TypesThe metadata container formats found in files from this device — EXIF, IPTC, XMP, JFIF, and others. Different devices and software pipelines embed different combinations.

Observed value
Exif
ICC_PROFILE

EXIF VersionThe EXIF specification version string written by the device's firmware. Not user-adjustable — a firmware constant that can indicate manufacturing era.

EXIF specification version string encoded by this device's firmware. Not user-adjustable — firmware constant.

Observed value
0220

ICC Colour ProfilesInternational Color Consortium profile — an embedded colour space definition telling displays and printers how to reproduce image colours accurately. Profile name often encodes the camera's target colour space.

Colour profile names embedded by this device.

Observed value
Display P3

Y/CbCr PositioningSpecifies how chroma channels (Cb, Cr) align with the luma channel (Y) during colour subsampling. Centred (1) or co-sited (2) — a firmware preference. Canon typically writes 2; Nikon and Sony write 1.

Colour channel alignment encoded by this device (1 = centred, 2 = co-sited). Manufacturer-determined — Canon typically writes 2, Nikon and Sony write 1.
