How to use

This application allows you to create IPTC metadata* and export it to a memory card.

By registering the exported information in your camera, you can apply IPTC metadata to your images when they are shot.

* IPTC metadata consists of digital image metadata attributes, as standardized by the IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council).
[IPTC Photo Metadata Standard : Copyright IPTC]
This software also uses some metadata not defined by the IPTC standard.

Overview of operations

In IPTC Metadata Preset, you can work with IPTC metadata in XMP format. You can enter this information, save it as files, load it from existing files, and export it to memory cards.

The operations of registering IPTC metadata to a camera and setting whether to tag images with it are performed on the camera itself.

For camera instructions, refer to the help guide of models compatible with IPTC metadata.

Loading, saving, registering exporting candidates, and exporting IPTC metadata

Use the buttons along the bottom of the screen to load or save IPTC metadata or export it to memory cards.

Data used in IPTC Metadata Preset is saved as XMP files (***.xmp).

• Clear

  Clears all IPTC metadata being edited.

• Open

  Loads an XMP file containing IPTC metadata.

• Cart

  Opens the Export-File Cart window and registers the file as a candidate to be output to the memory card. (If you need to save the file, use [Save/Cart] to save and register it.)

• Save/Cart

  Saves the IPTC metadata you have prepared to your computer, as an XMP file with your preferred name. Next, the Export-File Cart window opens, allowing you to register the file as a candidate to be output to the memory card.

• Export-File Cart

  Registers the file as a candidate to be output to the memory card.

  
  • Select a number to register the file to and click [Copy to Cart] to register the file.
  • Click [Remove] to cancel registration of the file.
  • An asterisk “*” to the left of a number indicates that a registration or registration cancellation operation has been performed on that number.
  • Click [OK] to confirm registration or registration cancellation.
  • On camera models that allow registration of only one set of IPTC metadata presets, select No. 01 and then click [Copy to Cart].
• Export

  Exports an IPTC metadata to a memory card, for registration on the camera.

  
  • When the Export-File Cart window opens, confirm the files registered as output candidates. After confirming that they are correct, click [Export] to select a memory card as the output destination and output the files.
