In the era of digital photography, Infringement of copyright becomes more common as digital image files can be copied and distributed easily. To ensure the copyright of your works is protected, you can enter copyright information into your EOS digital camera which will be appended to the EXIF of RAW or JPEG images during shooting. Once the copyright information is appended to the EXIF of original source file, the information will remain with the image for identification even it has been converted or resized in most image editing programs.
