oh - I suspect that Canon Zoom Broser is completely oblivious to EXIF "variations" other than Canon's own (which in this area happens to be more standard conforming than Olympus). Hugin was oblivious this way too until I took it up as an exercise and fixed it (easy). Although I am not sure about asking Canon to apply the same easy fix. They will probably prefer you replace your Olympus camera with a Canon camera... > Perhaps in the future a possibility that the user feeds his own camera > and multiplying value for them in Hugin? that's what the lens' INI files are for. If I understand your well detailed account of how you used PTAssembler and would like to use Hugin, you would like an option to skip the manuall loading of the lens file. There might different ways to save you the time of loading a lens file, but all I can think of will be based on assumptions that you, the user, have to validate (which is what you did when you modified the hard-coded values in PTAssembler's text file. It would be relatively easy to produce a hack that *blindly* overrides the multiplier (which is the only value you want to change if I understand correctly) from the preferences. A slightly more difficult one would be to provide multiple multipliers for a few manually entered cameras based on the EXIF model tag. Is this what you originally asked for? As long as it is not expected for the "database" to be provided with Hugin, but manually and deliberately entered by an *advanced* user, I think this is feasible. The best solution would be, of course, for camera manufacturers to comply with the same standard. Try talking with Olympus... Yuv
