There's an EXIF token FocusMode that EXIFtool can read, but I suspect it's somewhat variable as to what cameras support using it and how it's included in EXIF data. Lightroom does not display it nor present it as a sorting option, so you'd need to write a script with EXIFtool to determine if a

In a sense, yes. However, Bridge does not maintain an editing history or allow organization of files into collections and groupings independent of the file system. It simply records IPTC annotations and adds them to the processing parameter settings that Camera Raw writes into .XMP sidecar files

Lightroom does not include the Focus Mode or any other focusing system EXIF tokens in the EXIF metadata it displays. Probably the best thing you can do is to use EXIFtool to extract the focusing specific information from your image files in a list and then add it to the image files as keywords.

Experiment a little bit with a copy of the files. I seem to recall that if you pick a range, with the most selected file at the head, and set a specified time for that file, the others will shift by the relative amount that implies. On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 4:28 PM, Larry Colen l...@red4est.com
