When I plug in a camera, how can I make Shoebox open instead of iPhoto?
Why is my camera's name showing up all goofy? What are all those Exposure properties? I don't care about most of them. Why can't I do stuff with photos on my camera? Why is my camera's name showing up all goofy?
When you take a photo, the camera's make and model are added to the photo's metadata. However, sometimes these names aren't very pretty. (Apparently the engineering department, rather than the marketing department, gets to pick them.)
If you open the Camera preferences and click the Camera Names tab, you can customize how camera names will appear in the Info window. For example, if the left-hand column says “NIKON E8800”, you can edit the name in the right-hand column to say “Nikon Coolpix 8800”. |
