Laurenz: I am actually referring to "all" the metadata a digital camera embeds in a digital file. Most EXIF-compatible software is developed to display fields that contain standard information common to all cameras. The information I am interested in is what else is embedded in the image files besides what we see. Through this forum I've found out that there is a way to read the number of times the camera's shutter has been released and yet this is information not displayed by your typical EXIF viewer. I am interested in finding out what else the camera is storing in the digital files. Thank you for your reply and suggestion.
