• Flash is used (yes / no)
• Remote camera was focused on
• Focal length and calculate 35 mm corresponding focal length
• Resolution
• GPS info, if stored in the image
• IPTC header
• XMP data

Things that can be changed in an exif jpeg file:

• Repeat images by rotation mark with jpegtran
• Set or relatively adjust internal exif time stamps
• Fix date / time slots in large-party pictures
• Change name or date stamp files according to exif time stamp
• Transfer exif headers between images
• Replace thumbnails in the Exif headings
• Edit jpeg comments (but not the Exif comments)
• Delete exif or comment sections from jpeg images
