--- Comment #5 from [email protected] --- (Note: Understand that I am a rather new user of digiKam, so I may be making mistakes in its use.) Your comment and further work has led me to interesting discoveries. Among other cameras, I have many RAW images from (1) an older Canon EOS M5 camera (.CR2 extension) and (2) a newer Canon EOS M6 Mark II (.CR3 extension). It turns out digiKam's Advanced Search locates the RAW images from (1) but not from (2). Following your suggestion below, if I look at one of the located images from camera (1), it shows the following on the right side when switching from Properties to Metadata: Properties > Photograph Properties > Model: EOS M5 Metadata > Exif > Image Information > Model Canon EOS M5 An unfound image from camera (2) shows the following: Properties > Photograph Properties > Model: EOS M6 Mark II Metadata > Exif > Image Information > Model Canon EOS M6 Mark II I was unaware that digiKam makes a difference between its photographic properties and its EXIF data. Still, different results from Advanced Search occur with these two cameras. I should add that after reading your Comment #2, I selected Tools > Maintenance... > Sync Metadata and Database, then selected Sync Direction: From image metadata to database, then selected OK. After waiting quite a while for the process to complete over my ~45K images in the database, I saw no difference in behavior of Advanced Search. RAW image files taken with an EOS 7D, 80D, and M6 Mark II were not found. - Louis Dwynn Lafleur ------ Original Message ------ From: "Maik Qualmann" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: 2/20/2022 12:52:01 PM Subject: [digikam] [Bug 450611] Advanced search: "Photograph Information > The model of the camera" offers useless truncated model choices for Canon cameras >https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=450611 > >--- Comment #4 from Maik Qualmann <[email protected]> --- >What you see in the ExifTool tab or in the Exif tab is the "live" metadata. >However, the search works with the database.
