Found some photos with "Unknown" camera

[jjlad]

Hi there, I found a few dozen photos in which the camera is "unknown" in the metadata. I think these were probably run through Noiseware Community Edition before importing into LR.

I'd like to add the camera detail to the Exif, but when I look at the Exif for those I don't see the "Camera" field.

Am I missing something? LR is 2.6.

Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!

LR doesn't allow you to update EXIF data. (except timestamps)

The freeware application Exiftool can fix this.

Extending Paige's suggestion, you could make the fix prior to importing to Lr. If already imported, you would make the change to the file with Exiftool, and then from Lr, re-read the metadata, available from the right-click context menu, or from the main Library > Metadata menu.

Thanks to all of you for your help. I consider that a Christmas present as it will certainly help!
