This is a strange question. I thought originally that I had a camera problem. I use a Canon EOS 5D IV. I have copyright info set up in the camera, so that my copyright and the year is included in the metadata. Recently I noticed in Lightroom (both Classic on my iMac and mobile on my iPad and iPhone) that the metadata was showing as ‘Copyright Martin Owen 2020. All rights reserved’. I thought I had changed that at the beginning of the year to simply ‘Copyright Martin Owen 2021’. Checking the camera I found that the old setting was still there. No matter, I changed it. On searching through the menu on the camera the ‘display copyright info’ setting is now showing ‘Martin Owen 2021’. However any images imported into Lightroom either through the iPad or direct into the iMac are still showing the old copyright info for 2020.
Having changed everything on the camera numerous times but with no change, I have contacted Canon help who are as puzzled as I am. They have suggested various fixes, but nothing changes. The camera menu is showing the correct 2021 info, but imported images show the 2020 info. BTW images imported from my iPhone have the correct 2021 copyright info.
I then imported the same image directly into Apple Photos and using an app called Photo Investigator checked the copyright info in the metadata. This showed the correct 2021 info that the camera menu has. So, it would appear that the metadata in the image is correct, but importing into Lightroom (both mobile and Classic) results in the old copyright info being recorded.
I‘ve deleted and reinstalled the mobile app, but nothing has changed.
I can’t see any way of the wrong info being put into either mobile of classic, so am totally confused as to what’s happening. It does appear it’s not a camera issue, but only seems to crop up in Lightroom - both mobile and classic.
Any ideas anyone? Am I being very dim and not seeing something obviou?
