Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra EXIF Data Guide
A practical field-by-field EXIF checklist for Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra originals.
Use this checklist to inspect the metadata retained in your file. Fields vary by file and export method; EXIF alone cannot prove authenticity or a lifetime shutter count.
Best EXIF fields to check on Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
Use the untouched original photo rather than a file exported through chat or another app.
| Field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Make | Device manufacturer recorded in the file; this value can be edited. |
| Model | Recorded camera model. Compare it with the expected device; it is not proof of origin. |
| DateTimeOriginal | Capture date and time from the device clock; check clock accuracy and time zone separately. |
| latitude | Decoded GPS latitude. Together with longitude it may reveal the shooting location. |
| longitude | Decoded GPS longitude. Remove location data if you do not want to share where a photo was taken. |
| ExposureTime | Exposure duration in seconds, such as 1/250. This is not a lifetime shutter count. |
| FNumber | Aperture f-number, such as f/2.8; use it with exposure time and ISO to review exposure settings. |
| ISO | Recorded ISO sensitivity setting for the exposure. |
| LensModel | Recorded lens name; it may be absent when the lens or export does not supply it. |
| Software | Software or firmware recorded in the file. Its presence alone does not prove editing. |
Best file type to inspect
Use the untouched original photo rather than a file exported through chat or another app.
Privacy reminder
Phone photos are more likely to retain GPS data, so check location fields before sharing.
