[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
Firstly you're question was extremely vague to start with, so I was feeling out what appeared to be a "newbie" post. If you felt like I was speaking down to you, I apologize, but making vague posts leads people to assume that the poster is incapable of providing specifics. You did not provide any, and now you're ranting like a 5 year old. Will this follow with "your mom" comments??

(Just to be clear I am now DELIBERATELY speaking down to you, not unintentionally as before...your insults were unnecessary.)

Secondly, I'm 43, so I doubt you were doing anything other than wetting your own bed or not even existing when I was doing the same to mine. Grow up ok? TYVM. :)

Thirdly, Yes EXIF *IS* a feature, and NOT a user only area for applying comments. Ever since the standard was formally created twelve years ago almost ALL digital cameras have been using this header to deposit camera setting and date/time stamp information (and even Manufacturer names). Some (very very few) cameras have allowed this feature to be disabled, but this is rare. Exceedingly rare. Most professional photographers who need to create custom user "comments" in images use the IPTC IIM metadata standard to put user comments in things like images, because that's precisely what it is designed for. EXIF on the other hand is not. That's not to say you cannot modify EXIF data, it's merely that EXIF is not conducive to your concept of a "user comment". It wasn't designed for that. In other words, you're confusing the two and their purposes.

Fourth, some "puke" didn't stick it in there. A programmer who writes digital camera firmware followed a common convention followed by every other camera manufacturer in the world. Most people consider EXIF header information a feature, though there are some who wish to not have EXIF info in their publicly available pictures for privacy reasons. Some people don't want their public photographs with date/time stamps and geolocation info. That sort of thing...

That is easily stripped in those circumstances with common free image processing software. Irfanview just to name one off the top of my head. All photo upload services (that I have used) strip this info in public galleries as well, owing to the obvious potential for liability.

Being annoyed that Samsung wants to put it's name in the EXIF header of images taken on a camera they designed....that's just friggin bizarre, but to each his own.

Finally, It's not going to be some simple little "toggle" or setting as it's a function of the camera software itself. Samsung has released most of their source code true, but not for their proprietary apps. Camera driver source exists, but not the camera software itself. You'll likely have to just put up with ....

1). Being an obnoxious twit

2). Waiting for CM6.1

3). Adjusting your tinfoil hat

p.s. If you think the word "SAMSUNG" in the "ImageDescription" field is some evil Samsung conspiracy (especially considering in most situations you have to go out of your way to see it in the first place), well I have bad news for you. They are apparently in cahoots with Olympus, Panasonic, Sony, Nikon, and Kodak from what I see in a cursory examination of my photo library. You could also try to reverse engineer Samsung's camera software of course. Good luck with that after you finish your tantrum.
