Change Lens-Info on Import Images

[RobiWan]

Hi,

I try to change the information about lenses via metadata template.
But unfortunately I do not succeed. Does anyone have an idea how to do it correctly? In the past I always called a PowerShell script for this but in IMatch it would be nicer.

Cheers Robert

You cannot change Lens info easily.
Lens Info in most files consists of multiple entries in multiple tags (lens info is usually numbers, the "name" is produced by ExifTool using internal mapping tables and complex algorithms).
You cannot just change the lens name in XMP. ExifTool would not even write it most likely.
If you need to change the lens info for some reason (warning, this will most likely cause issues in raw processors and image editors) you can to it from the ExifTool command line or the ECP.
See https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=7423.0 for a start.

OK, then I have to continue using my Powershell script.
