S'mine

Perhaps just a note to myself, but fellow Canon DSLR owners might like to know how to add one's name to the EXIF data appended to each image.

It's slightly less intuitive than I'd hoped, 'hidden' behind a 'Tools' icon which I'd interpreted as applying only to remote-shooting functionality.

• Connect the camera to the PC.
• The EOS Utility will autorun.
• Select 'Camera Settings/Remote Shooting'.
• Select the 'Set-up Menu' icon (there's no tooltip, but it looks like a crucifix and a crescent moon on a stick, or perhaps a hammer and a spanner).
• Click on the first menu item to complete the 'Owner's Name' field.
