EXIF date: 35mm equivalent focal length

Is there a way to get the EXIF info window to display "35mm equivalent focal length" in addition to the standard focal length?

Most other organizers and editors do that. I hope I just haven't found the right setting in PD12.

For testing & checking purposes, could you please provide details of the camera models/lenses you're using that display 35mm equivalent in the EXIF data (of other software)?

I'm using a Nikon Coolpix P950, a Fuji Finepix HS50EXR and a Samsung Galaxy S9+. All fixed lens, zoom.

I've attached screenshots of the EXIF files from Picasa 3 from my Fuji and Nikon cameras. The Photoshop Elements programs have a similar result.

The PD 12 EXIF display is considerably abbreviated compared to other apps. That's why I thought I might have missed the "Show All" button somewhere.

Hello again Jerry,

My apologies for the delay in responding, but it took a little investigating.

Firstly, you're not missing any setting that allows you to see "advanced" EXIF data. The data displayed is the data PhD is equipped to read & display from an image. WYSIWYG laughing

Secondly, after checking a number of photo organiser/viewer/editing applications, you wouldn't conclude that displaying the 35mm equivalent focal length is standard practice.

I tested sample photos from Nikon Coolpix P950, Fuji Finepix HS50EXR & a number of other cameras (both JPG & RAW) in various applications at my disposal & some dedicated EXIF viewer apps.

It's certainly true that Picasa3 (not developed since 2016) displays the 35mm equivalent, as does EXIFtool & JPEG Snoop.

Aside from PhD, other photos apps I checked do not display the 35mmEQ: Adobe LightRoom (which some would regard as the industry standard), ON1 Photo RAW, Affinity Photo, Zoner Photo Studio.

Oddly, FastStone Image Viewer (freeware) displays 35mmEQ for the Nikon P950, but not for the Fuji HS50EXR.

Thank you. 35mm equiv. is helpful for the many of us with smaller sensor cameras. I know that Elements 9 and newer versions show it.

But it is only a "nice to have" non-essential.
