I am writing a simple Windows program (MS VC++) that lists some Exif tags of photos taken with a Z6. An example of the output is as follows:

 

DSC_0255.JPG NIKON Z 6 Mode Not-defined 1/250 f5.6 bias 0 ISO 125 Meter Multi-segment Fl 66

DSC_0262.JPG NIKON Z 6 Mode Program 1/320 f4.5 bias 0 ISO 100 Meter Spot Fl 70

DSC_0266.JPG NIKON Z 6 Mode Speed 1/100 f4 bias -1 ISO 25600 Meter Centre-weighted Fl 70

DSC_0267.JPG NIKON Z 6 Mode Speed 1/100 f4 bias -1 ISO 25600 Meter Other Fl 70

DSC_0269.JPG NIKON Z 6 Mode Speed 1/80 f4 bias 0 ISO 11400 Meter Spot Fl 70

 

This works as hoped but much Nikon/Z6 information seems to be missing from the standard Exif tags. For example, the metering mode "highlight" gets the value 255 ("Other") and "Auto" shooting mode has value 0 ("Not defined"). I also see no tags showing values for "AF-mode" or "AF-area-mode".

 

I am sure this information is present somewhere in the JPG files as it is all presented by ViewNXi. Maybe it is held in the "Nikon Makernote" section of the Exif data? If so, is there a specification of this information?

 

I have been using the Exif description in the following:

 

EXIF Tags

 

This gives a description of Nikon specific tags but not those I've mentioned above.

 

Thanks in anticipation ...

Nikon are notorious for putting information that should be tagged in a standard format in the makernotes.
