Does anyone know how to change the copyright that shows up on the metadata on the DX2G? Right now my photos show "(C) by SEA&SEA 2G USER". I would like to change to my name.

Thanks
 
I have a DX2G - but I don't see any way to adjust that Metadata setting on the camera.

You can edit the Metadata after the fact with third party tools. I'm using a Mac - so I downloaded ExifTool.

I took the raw DNG file (M0010164.DNG) and viewed the Copyright info by executing the following command:
>exiftool -copyright M0010164.DNG

The following was displayed:

>Copyright : (C) by SEA&SEA 2G USER


The following command updates the Metadata to the Copyright message of my choice:

>exiftool -copyright='(c) by Bjorn Loftis' M0010164.DNG

Subsequently - I viewed the metadata using the exiftool - copyright command - and saw the following:


>Copyright : (c) by Bjorn Loftis

This is a command line tool. It can be used in a script to change the metadata on a library of photos - but as a command line tool - it has a bit of a learning curve. You might find other tools to be more user friendly.

Good luck!
